How to Use Your Voice for Effective Communication? A Workshop by EPF at CIBF

The Emerging Peacemakers Forum (EPF), one of the leading initiatives of the Muslim Council of Elders, organized a training workshop titled "Use Your Voice for Effective Communication". 

The workshop was presented by Yasmin Obaid, a participant in the EPF, and took place at the Muslim Council of Elders' stand at the Cairo International Book Fair.

The workshop focused on introducing the skills of effective communication, highlighting its importance in engaging and influencing others, and successfully delivering content. It also shed light on the stages of communication: the source, the message, the channel, the receiver, and the feedback.

The workshop also delved into different communication styles, including formal and informal, verbal and non-verbal, as well as direct and indirect methods, emphasizing the influence of indirect communication on impacting others. The session covered effective speaking techniques, such as varying speech speed, adjusting volume and tone, emphasizing key words, and adding emotion to animate the text.

Yasmin Obaid, the trainer, conducted practical exercises with attendees, demonstrating how varying the delivery of a single sentence can alter its impact and objective. This part of the session witnessed significant engagement from a diverse audience at the Muslim Council of Elders' stand at the fair.

The Muslim Council of Elders is participating in the 56th edition of the Cairo International Book Fair, held from January 23 to February 5, 2025, with a dedicated stand showcasing a wide range of the Council’s featured publications. Additionally, the stand is hosting a series of seminars, activities, and events aimed at promoting the values of goodness, love, peace, and mutual coexistence among all people.
