Yorkshire, Sussex and West Midlands Speak Out Challenge Finals

By : Alessandra D'Addetta | April 19, 2023

We are delighted to announce the details of our Yorkshire, Sussex and West Midlands Speak Out Challenge Finals!  

Following an expert-led interactive workshop, an assembly final, and a digital semi-final (Yorkshire/West Mids only), speakers will be chosen from across their regions to compete in their event.  

As ever, a crucial part of our Speak Out Challenge programmes is to give young people a platform to speak, and be heard. Finalists will share their views and opinions and compete to become a Regional Champion! 

The Finals are a huge celebration of young voices, that will involve a diverse range of speeches, judged by very special panels of VIP Judges.
