The STRONG project
RADIATE
For Young People who want to stand up and be heard
These highly engaging workshops are aimed at developing participant confidence in public speaking, debating and presentation skills.
These workshops focus on developing effective communication skills, enhancing writing and speaking skills, and encouraging critical thinking and problem solving.
The aim of these workshops is to enable young people to radiate with confidence when they stand up to speak.
We support young people to move beyond technology in order to re-find ways to communicate face-to-face with peers, teachers, parents and their community.
Workshops are provided in a number of formats and can be configured to meet the needs of the school:
The Speaking Workshop
A one day workshop aimed at school leaders / debate teams / public speaking candidates.
This is an advanced workshop which aims to develop public speaking and speech writing skills.
Participants need to prepare a 2 minute speech which will be workshopped and developed during the session.
Participants have the option to be filmed in order to learn how to critically assess themselves.
These workshops are aimed at developing confidence.
They are fun, challenging and empowering.

The STAND UP workshops
This program focuses on developing public speaking skills for students who may be lacking in confidence in this area.
Using drama games, journalism techniques and writing skills students are led through the process of creating and giving a speech from gathering information, writing and editing, to presenting.
The final session is a presentation to staff, parents and/or peers of a 3 minute speech.
Students will be expected to complete some tasks outside of session times.
Delivered in small groups of no more than 12 students these programs run for 1 or 2 terms with each session lasting between 50 – 60 minutes.
