# World Speech Day > Speak as a World Citizen : 15th March 2027 ## Posts - [The world's rarest bear, and the people who won't let it go](https://worldspeechday.com/gobi-bear-a-students-speech-on-the-worlds-rarest-bear-world-speech-day/): Chloe Phalp · Grade Seven · Canada · World Speech Day 2022 Chloe was in grade seven when she chose, for her World Speech Day talk, one of the least famous endangered animals on earth. There are thought to be around two dozen Gobi bears left, surviving in a desert that swings between 45 degrees and minus 40, and she uses them to test an idea: if humans and wildlife can share space anywhere, surely it should be somewhere this empty. What makes the talk unusual is that she refuses the ending her audience is waiting for. She tells them plainly […] - [What the Rhine taught a student about the Yangtze.](https://worldspeechday.com/what-the-rhine-taught-a-student-about-the-yangtze/): Andy Pan · Jiangsu Tianyi High School, China · World Speech Day 2021 Andy Pan was still at school in Jiangsu when he was selected to travel with a Nanjing University team studying how European countries had cleaned up the Rhine. He came home to a town where cable manufacturing accounts for around 40% of the economy, and where the forests and streams he ran through as a child have largely gone. What makes this talk unusual is that he refuses the choice everyone expects him to make between the industry and the landscape. He proposes a test instead: that a […] - [The Speech That Never Said "Quit India"](https://worldspeechday.com/the-speech-that-never-said-quit-india/): Gandhi, Bombay, 8 August 1942 — an apologia remembered as an eviction notice Talks Decoded The speech that gave the twentieth century its most famous eviction notice never says Quit India. Remarkably, the phrase is not in the text. What stands in its place is a piece of diplomatic understatement:  “The proposal for the withdrawal of British power did not come out of anger”. And around it, thousands of words addressed not to the British at all. But to Muslims, and past them to one Muslim who was not in the room. Read by the paragraph rather than by reputation, the […] - [New](https://worldspeechday.com/new/) - [Mahatma Gandhi's "The Salt March" Speech](https://worldspeechday.com/mahatma-gandhis-the-salt-march-speech/): Review of Mahatma Gandhi’s “The Salt March” Speech   “Non-violence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.”   Mahatma Gandhi’s “Salt March” speech, delivered in 1930, stands as a monumental moment in the Indian struggle for independence from British rule. This speech was not just a call to action but a powerful symbol of non-violent resistance and civil disobedience. Gandhi’s speech catalyzed the famous Salt March, a 240-mile trek to the Arabian Sea, where he intended to produce salt without paying the tax, defying the British Salt Laws.   Gandhi’s rhetoric in […] - [I Have a Dream](https://worldspeechday.com/i-have-a-dream/): I Have a Dream “I Have a Dream,” delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on August 28, 1963, during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, is one of the most iconic and impactful speeches in American history. The speech, set against the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial, begins with King’s acknowledgment of the Emancipation Proclamation, which had freed millions of slaves a century earlier. However, he quickly points out that African Americans were still not free from segregation, discrimination, and poverty. King’s speech is a vivid portrayal of the struggles faced by Black Americans and a call for […] - [On Ancient Art](https://worldspeechday.com/on-ancient-art/): Wangechi Mutu: KEY IDEAS Art is in fact an ancient language; it is a sort of transmission code. It is our way of sending messages to others across time. Like the rock and cave paintings that reach out to us from pre-history Our bodies were our first museums. We used our bodies first to carry our art with us. Art is also a way of us feeling at home in new environments – through that ancient language. These ancient art forms show that we are all related that we all share a common ancestry back to the beginnings of art in […] - [Squeezery Update](https://worldspeechday.com/squeezery-update/): Coming soon : more news on our new mobile app, Squeezery, delivering the key ideas from the world’s top speeches, talks and presentations.

He held the Democrats responsible for this increase, blaming their policies for enabling criminal behavior.   – Trump criticized the Democrats’ approach to law enforcement, particularly their support for defunding the police and limiting their authority. He stressed that this weakens the police force and hinders their ability to enforce law and order.   – He emphasized the link between drug trafficking and crime, stating that strict drug policies are necessary to curb crime rates. He accused the Democrats […] - [Speech of the Week](https://worldspeechday.com/speech-of-the-week/): Speech of the Week: David Malpass, President, World Bank Group and Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister Italy In the phrase of the moment, the financial markets are in “febrile mood”. Perhaps not surprising then that a speech from one of the world’s leading bankers contains the words “crisis”. However the speech by David Malpass, President of the World Bank Group, to the Stanford Institute for Economic Research (SIERP) at Stanford University this week titled  “The Crisis facing Development” stood out for its clarity and perspicacity. If you really want to know what’s going on in the world, at the macro-economic level, this […] - [Speech of the Week](https://worldspeechday.com/elementor-755/): Speech of the Week Covering speeches made during the week commencing Monday 19th September 2022 The week began with a funeral, which can often be the setting, or at least inspiration, for a great speech. One thinks of Pericles and his Funeral Oration on the Athenian Dead for instance; and to some extent Gettysburg Address also feels like a funeral oration. The funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was no exception in eliciting oration. On a day of sadness and splendour that stopped all the clocks in many countries around the world there many speeches. And in Westminster Abbey, an […] - [Global](https://worldspeechday.com/global/): Over 100 nations hold events - [Inclusive](https://worldspeechday.com/inclusive/): Anyone can host an event, anyone can speak - [Diverse](https://worldspeechday.com/diverse/): Reaching out to Unexpected Voices - [Hello world!](https://worldspeechday.com/hello-world/): Welcome to WordPress.
