Public Speaking & Debating Short Course

Description:

Unloc’s Public Speaking & Debating Short Course is an empowering 12-week programme that provides a chance for students to develop their confidence, communication skills and then put them into action. 

The twelve-week course consists of both skills development through workshop-style learning and structured debating of current and controversial topics. 

In the process, students develop their employability skills – including confidence in speaking, listening and sharing their views – whilst building their knowledge of societal issues. 

For schools and colleges keen to engage in competitive debating, the programme acts as a perfect introduction to the art of debating and public speaking, helping prepare them for representing their institution at potential future debate meets.

Additionally, the programme provides a creative outlet for student voice – using debating and public speaking to enable young people to discuss issues they care about.

Testimonial:

The sessions provided by Unloc developed the students’ confidence in public speaking, delivered the skills to make their speaking have more impact and gave me the confidence in teaching these skills in the future. I would highly recommend Unloc to others to develop students in their confidence and speaking skills.
