For schools and youth work agencies we currently offer three different Speak Up! Speak Out! (SUSO) workshops. They are:

• SUSO Public Speaking Skills
• SUSO Interview Skills
• SUSO Talking Enterprise
  

In addition, SpeakersBank has experience in delivering Debating Skills and Positive Thinking Workshops - these programmes can be arranged and, if needed, tailored to your specific needs.

Our young people training programmes directly link into:

• Speaking & Listening component of GCSE English 
• Compulsory Citizenship courses at Key Stage 4
• Enterprise component of GCSE Business Studies
• Sixth form or further education interviews
• Presentation, performance and evaluation for GCSE Drama
• Duke of Edinburgh modules

SpeakersBank has a wealth of experience and expertise in working with young people in both school and other extra-curricular settings. We have worked with a range of schools, FE Colleges and Universities as well as other environments where we can support the development of young people including partnering with programmes to support NEETs, young offenders and those at risk of exclusion from school or the wider community.

Each programme boosts confidence and self-esteem as young people learn how to speak with clarity and impact. The training helps them become better communicators which improves their education and employment prospects. Our training is suitable for all young people and can be adapted to address different age groups and all levels. 

However, we also want to support those young people who are keen to play a positive role in society and for whom the unleashing of their voice as a tool for change can encourage them to be an ambassador for a cause or a leader in their school or community. We would be delighted to have the opportunity to support your young people, whatever their situation, in their development and to encourage them to value the importance of their ability to communicate and to speak up and speak out! 

SpeakersBank is proud to be running the the world's biggest youth speaking event: Jack Petchey's "Speak Out" Challenge!

Thanks to the sponsorship and support of the Jack Petchey Foundation, SpeakersBank is able to deliver its "Speak Out!" Workshops in every state school in London and Essex. This year alone we will train nearly 20,000 young people on this programme. For further information please see the website:
