Wednesday 10 May saw the final of the public speaking competition, organised by the Centrale Talks association. This third edition was a great success, with five candidates from École Centrale de Lille who brilliantly defended their points of view on complex and varied subjects:
- Amandine Goracy: “Should we mourn the dead?”
- Clément Mahoume: “Optimism is a moral duty”
- Augustin Thépaut: “Communicating without words”
- Vong Hi: “Words don’t need a destination”
- Paul Cazaux: “Are we responsible for our creations?”
At the end of this verbal joust, Augustin Thépaut was appointed the winner and awarded a prestigious work of literature: the original highlighted manuscript of Alice in Wonderland, graciously offered to the association by Les Editions des Saints Pères.
Congratulations to all the participants for their performances; they made the jury’s decision a difficult one!
