Thanks to the generous support of local education and philanthropic organisations, we deliver Regional Speak Out Challenge programmes for Year 10 students in regions across England.
Our aim is to amplify young people’s voices by building confidence, developing skills and creating platforms for young people to share their stories and ideas. In addition to participating in a transformative full day workshop, selected students participate in a progressive competition, reaching their potential and inspiring thousands of public speaking competition. people with their speeches.
“What a tremendous opportunity for young people to take their first steps into the scary world of public speaking and see these initial fears disappear.”
Teacher, Priory School, Portsmouth
Each student receives a full day of public speaking training with one of our expert trainers. The impact on students is profound, from increasing their empathy with the views of others to improving their ability to work under pressure. You can see for yourself on our impact dashboard, which is updated daily.
After the workshop, selected students enter regional public speaking competitions. – sharing their speeches on school, regional and national stages. Speeches are judges by panels of VIP judges – which helps to raise aspirations for students and the profile of young people in the community.
“It was great to learn so much about my own capabilities and for someone who has dealt with panic attacks … it has helped in building my confidence.”
