Public Speaking for Kids:
Be a Hero!
In this course children will discover public speaking in a fun and warm environment. We believe that true development of public speaking skills comes with building positive experience in a safe and friendly environment. Creation of this environment will be our primary task. But also, our participants will learn important techniques and practice planning and structuring their speech. This course is created to help children discover their self-expression and foster their confidence in public speaking. The course consists of 8 one-hour lessons and a presentation session where children will present their speeches. All speeches will be recorded and shared with each kid's parents so that you can be proud of your child! The entire course will be held online to assure safety of the students due to COVID-19.
