End of Term Extended Learning / Activity Days - Speaking Competition....move over The BBC The Speaker ...........

End of Term Extended Learning / Activity Days

Speaking Competition

The recent BBC programme called “The Speaker” on BBC 2 is in search of Britain’s best young speaker. The show highlights the importance of being able to speak in public and the positive affect it can have on an individual’s success in life.

“The Speaker” is subtitled “great things happen when you speak up”. It is aimed at young people aged 14-18 and certainly is an important skill for young people. It can give them the abilities and the confidence to be able to persuade, influence, stand up for their view points and make their voice heard. This is critical in whatever walk of life they chose to pursue.

Working in conjunction with Archimedes Consulting’s Presentation Team, Eureka is delighted to be able to give you the opportunity to run your own version of “The Speaker” in your school.
In a 2 or 3 day programme that can be tailored to your needs: ~

  • Just like in the programme, the young people are coached to design and prepare their speeches

  • They get to rehearse and be coached by professionals with backgrounds in business, acting/performance, voice coaching and/or television journalism

  • They are videoed and have the opportunity to get video feedback

  • There are heats of the speaking competition

  • We hold a grand final with a judging panel drawn from the school teachers/ governors and the Archimedes Presentation Team
For the young people this represents an entertaining and exciting activity for extended learning / end of term weeks, but also it is giving them some valuable learning and experience.
Archimedes Consulting Presentation Team works with CEOs and other senior managers in the corporate sector.

This collaboration with Eureka Schools is a unique opportunity to bring some of the highest quality presentation coaching into the school environment.
