Sussex Speak Out Final will take place in the summer term 2025. To express interest, email us here
The Sussex Speak Out Challenge is designed and delivered by Speakers Trust to encourage Year 10 students to develop public speaking and communication skills as well as build self-esteem and agency.
This programme is highly subsidised and linked to the Skills Builder framework to further unlock learning and boost academic outcomes.
How it Works:
According to the data collected from last year’s participants:
78% of students have increased their confidence to stand up and talk to a group of people.
86% of students increased their ability to present ideas in an effective way when speaking in front of a group.
Last year’s winner Isla Harris said
“Speak Out Challenge really gave me a voice I didn’t know I had. I felt so confident and I haven’t felt confident like that before.”
Councillor Mohammed Asaduzzaman, Mayor of Brighton & Hove, presented the certificates and awards of the evening and said,
‘This is an opportunity for young people who have no chance to express themselves. We need to give the chance to break down barriers and let them speak.”
Get inspired by our Sussex Speak Out Challenge Finalist Hivda and her speech called Roe vs Wade.
