Support the YES Alumni by Voting

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites exchange alumni from around the world to vote and help select this year’s 2012 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) winners. AEIF offers $1 million to help teams of alumni tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues. Administered by the State Department’s Office of Alumni Affairs, AEIF awards up to $25,000 to winning teams of alumni to fund projects tackling issues from human rights to women’s entrepreneurship to interfaith understanding.

The project by Jordanian YES Alumni "Engaging Young Jordanian in Voluntarism and Community Service: Voluntary 101" was shortlisted as one of 154 finalist AEIF proposals.

PRESENTATION SKILLS

Workshop Overview

Presentations can be challenging – most of the time you will be the only person talking. In a conversation or a meeting you can sometimes take time to think of a question or what you would like to say. In a presentation, on the other hand, every pause can feel like an eternity! It therefore pays to be very well prepared.

This workshop will help you with the language of presentations – how to introduce yourself and the topic, how to describe visuals you may include in your presentation and much more. In addition you will master the various techniques that make up effective presentations, including brainstorming and organizing ideas, tailoring content to an audience, designing powerful visual aids, planning for adequate facilities, and stimulating audience interest.
