Public Speaking & Debating Holiday Workshops

Our holiday workshops are jam-packed with fun and engaging activities, all designed to equip our future leaders with some great communication skills. We're all about helping them find their voice, in school and beyond.

So what do our holiday workshops look like? Think less 'stuffy classroom' and more 'adventure into the world of words', where every child feels safe to speak up and shine. Our goal is to boost their confidence in a welcoming and fun environment to help as many kids as possible succeed in life.
