Confidence & Articulacy Workshops

Weekly workshops

All Access Project students must attend at least one Confidence & Articulacy workshop a week.

Students are assigned a tutor only after they have maintained a perfect attendance record at the weekly workshops for six weeks.

Confidence & Articulacy

Students from low-income backgrounds – particularly if they or their parents speak English as an Additional Language – sometimes experience low confidence and inarticulacy.

Our programme of Confidence & Articulacy workshops is designed to encourage students to develop their own opinions and become confident expressing them in public arenas.

 

Different areas of interest

Our workshops cover a wide range of topics and students choose them according to their interests.

These include: Debating, Medicine Society, Veterinary Society, Creative Writing, Film Club and Model United Nations.

All the workshops focus on encouraging students to express their opinions and to interact in a respectful but critical manner.

 

 
 
School-wide benefits

All our workshops are open to the entire school, not just the students on The Access Project.

It is hoped that by championing the values of respectful debate throughout the school, widespread change can be achieved.
