What is Culturally Speaking?
Culturally Speaking is delivered by Speakers Trust in partnership with cultural institutions across London, and funded by The Kusuma Trust.
A programme for up to thirty 13-16 year old students from each school will get a guided and interactive tour of a cultural institution, which will lead to a full day oracy workshop exploring the findings from the visit and preparing a speech on themes relating to their experience.
This year, participating schools can choose from one of the following cultural partners:
London Transport Museum- Depot
The programme offers young people the opportunity to engage with cultural spaces and identify how they can be relevant to their lives. Cultural institutions involved are able to see the spaces through fresh eyes, and understand the themes that are important to young people.
Here is what teachers and students had to say about their experience in the programme last year:
“Students really enjoyed both days and staff were really impressed with what they achieved in the speaking workshop” – Teacher
“I am proud of myself for being able to speak in front of my peers and present a speech about a topic I care about” – Student
