PUBLIC SPEAKER

I have spoken before audiences large and small at schools, universities, houses of worship and community centers, and have appeared as a speaker in panel discussions on various topics. I have been invited to speak on a broad range of subjects, from Israeli politics and social issues, to navigating the world of journalism and freelancing.

To inquire about my availability for a public speaking engagement, please reach out directly at yardena.schwartz@gmail.com.

Testimonials:

"It was such a pleasure having Yardena come speak to our community about a fascinating and ever-changing part of the world with her talk on ”Reporting From The Most Reported Place On Earth”. She diplomatically handled what could have been a contentious dialogue. She was interesting and informative and we feel grateful that she was able to present to us. We look forward to her return.”
