Talking About Communication

Expert trainers from Talk The Talk came into school on Tuesday 20th February to work with students in Year Group 10.

The Talk About Communication workshop was an exciting and engaging master class developing speaking and listening skills within a creative learning environment. The workshop provided numerous speaking opportunities and students were coached and supported throughout the day to deliver a structured two minute presentation, on a topic for which they have a genuine passion, to their peers.

‘We demonstrate that speaking out should be an experience that we CAN do – and one that is nowhere near as daunting as we might think. One of the keys to the success of the Talk The Talk programme is creating an environment of mutual respect with a supportive ethos so that when students stand up and voice their opinions, share their thoughts and present their ideas – their skills and confidence grow.’
