Oracy workshops for Key Stages 2 - 5
The ESU’s Discover Your Voice oracy workshops are available for learners in Key Stages 2-5, providing oracy skills development opportunities tailored to age, ability and school requirements.
Suitable for: Beginner (Years 5-6); Intermediate (Years 7-8) and Advanced (Years 9-10)
Workshop length: Workshops last 2.5 hours (but multiple options can be combined to create a full-day programme)
Delivery: ESU oracy experts
Pricing: From £325 for half-day or £900 for a series of three.
Using the ESU’s century of oracy education experience we support schools to develop their oracy provision through the lens of debate or public speaking – but every workshop provides all learners with a thorough understanding of core oracy skills and workshop 1 in each stream provides a general oracy skills introduction for students of all ages.
Choose a one-off workshop or work with us over a longer period with a sequenced series of sessions, building to a capstone oracy event day, facilitated by ESU oracy experts.
Each of the workshops are structured around the ESU key skill sets of reasoning and evidence; listening and response; expression and delivery and organisation and prioritisation.
Customisable to specific curriculum areas or projects, all Discover Your Voice workshops build learners’ ability to communicate and reason effectively, to listen, and to understand and respond to others’ points of view. All workshops last 2.5 hours, but multiple options can be combined to create a full-day programme (or longer).
