About Gavel Clubs in Oman

A growing community of young speakers.

Oman has a thriving community of more than 40 Gavel Clubs, operating in schools and as open clubs. Many schools have expanded from a single club to multiple clubs, inspired by the growing enthusiasm of Gaveliers.

Guided by dedicated coordinators, counsellors and experienced Toastmasters, clubs meet weekly or fortnightly, following a structured educational programme designed by Toastmasters International.

Through speeches, impromptu speaking, evaluations and leadership roles, Gaveliers develop confidence, communication, critical thinking, teamwork and leadership skills that prepare them for future opportunities.

Every meeting nurtures confidence, every role builds character, and every Gavelier discovers the power of their voice.
