Empowerment through speaking out

For over ten years, Eloquentia has been dedicated to empowering young people through speaking. On March 25, 2026, together we will celebrate the 9ᵉ edition of the International Finals of the largest French-speaking speaking competition. Our four finalists come from all over the world: Anna from Montpellier, Diénaba from Ziguinchor, Abigail from Jacmel and Anna from Nanterre. They will face off two by two on two subjects, one treated positively and the other negatively, in a competition where all styles are allowed: plaidoirie, slam, poetry, rap or stand-up. This final is a real tribune of expression where show and emotions are on the agenda, with an ever-growing audience and an exceptional jury. And as every year, other surprises will punctuate the evening. Eloquentia makes a habit of staging these events in prestigious venues, offering a spectacular close to a year's worth of competitions: Institut de France and Panthéon (2018), Philharmonie de Paris (2019), Studio 104 de la Maison de la Radio (2020), Bataclan (2021), La Seine Musicale (2023) and Auditorium de la Maison de la Radio (2024). In 2026, it's in the arena of La Seine Musicale's Grande Seine that our four speakers will vie for the title of Best Francophone Speaker of the year. We look forward to welcoming you on March 25, 2026 to share emotions, energy and excellence around speaking. Don't miss this unique event!
