Oracy & confidence building workshop

Play with words, find your rhythm and test out techniques to help you with those nerves and leave a lasting impression on your audience.

Memorable speeches have been key to every important reform movement from the chartists and women’s suffrage to trade unions and the fight for disabled people and LGBTQIA+ rights.

Speeches are capable of commanding audiences, communicating information, and even providing a source of entertainment.

This workshop was made possible with Art Fund support.

What can you expect from our workshops?

They run a little differently to traditional ways of teaching.  

We promote a shared responsibility for learning, which removes the traditional roles of teacher, facilitator and participant so individuals can become self-reliant and creative thinkers. 

What does this look like? 

1. Instilling a ‘try three before me’ mantra promotes problem-solving skills and builds a stronger peer support network 
2. Adults focus on connection not correction. We get curious, ask questions, and encourage risk taking rather than providing answers 
3. We prioritise the process, rather than having a finished piece of work at the end of the session.
