Public Speaking For Children (7 - 11 years old)
Storytelling Circle - Kids take turns telling a part of a story, encouraging creativity and teamwork.
Show and Tell - Each child brings an item from home and explains its significance, boosting confidence and presentation skills.
Charades - A fun way to express ideas and emotions without words, improving non-verbal communication.
Improvised Games - Simple improvisation exercises to enhance spontaneity and quick thinking.
Debates - Topics like "cats vs. dogs" where kids can share opinions and learn respectful debate techniques.
Public Speaking For Teens (12 - 16 years old)
The median age of the participants is 12.5 years old. This means that the average participant of this programme has lived for a minimum of 113,880 hours. In order for a child to have a truly transformative learning experience, that child would need more than a half-day workshop. A "quickie" of a course will never result in transformation! We are committed to the children experiencing change, skills and competence that will live with them for a lifetime. Hence, the priceless value of having a 6-month learning experience.

Your Instructor
Samuel Jonathan
Samuel Jonathan is the Founder of the Royal Centre For Public Speaking. In 2012, he designed "Public Speaking For Pupils", the first certified course in public speaking for children. Weeks later, after observing the rich content of the course and transformational changes in their students, Mr Jonathan had to design an equivalent bespoke course for their teachers, and named it "Public Speaking For Today's Teacher". His signature style of coaching has been described by educators, senior public officials and corporate executives as inspiring, uplifting and transformative. In 2007, The British Army were so impressed with the concept of Samuel's youth leadership programme in London, that they sponsored it! A very short list of organisations and educational institutions who have benefitted from Samuel's coaching legacy include British International School, Johns Hopkins University, Barclays, The British Council, KPMG, Ernst & Young, University of Ghana and The United Nations. The sole reason why Samuel is conducting this course for the first time in Britain is because of his love for children. He has equipped world leaders and now he wants to empower the local child. Samuel Jonathan is DBS Certified and looks forward to raising world-class speakers, starting with your child.
