Centar za javni govor (Centre for Public Speaking)

Overview

Centar za javni govor (Centre for Public Speaking) is a Belgrade-based nonprofit organisation founded in 2017 and dedicated to public speaking education, presentation skills, and oratory. Led by Radovan Perović — a multiple national public speaking competition winner and advisor to business and public figures — the centre uses interactive, small-group training tailored to each participant's individual needs. Its philosophy is that the spoken word is a powerful tool, and that genuine oratory education can inspire and move others.
