Loud Speaker Workshops Motivate Learners
The College was delighted to host Loud Speaker for an engaging workshop titled 'The Game of Life.' This empowering session was specifically crafted to guide our students in cultivating resilience and confidence while elevating their aspirations. The workshop seamlessly integrated elements aimed at enhancing emotional intelligence and fostering the development of unique personal storytelling skills. Students from various disciplines, including Sport, Creative Arts, Animal Management, Education and Early Years, Business, Engineering, and Construction Careers Excellence Hubs, enthusiastically participated in this enlightening event. Loud Speaker's dynamic approach left a lasting impact on our students, equipping them with valuable life skills for the journey ahead.
The speakers were fantastic, delivering impactful and thoughtful workshops with high energy. A key element of Loud Speaker’s workshops involve developing young people’s ability to speak confidently in situations like an interview, a first date or on a stage. Loud Speaker say that “For the young people that we interact with, the future is a beautiful mystery. The only thing that’s certain is that they will have to source opportunities and convince people to take a shot on them.”
One of the speakers Richard gave us some inspiring words: “As much as we all love technology and social media, I feel like we’re losing that ability to look someone in the eye and use our voices confidently and competently.
“I want to be able to go into colleges across the country, especially here at Weston College, to be able to give young people that skill and also make them feel confident that they can use their voices again in any walk of life that they choose to use it.”
We spoke to our Head of Personal Development and Student Voice, Antonia Travers who said: “It was fantastic to have Loud Speaker come in and deliver exceptional workshops to our learners, for the second time. We had four facilitators deliver eight, three-hour sessions, over three campuses.
“The workshops were highly energetic and motivational, they supported the development of learner's communication, resilience and inspired them to think about their futures and aim high.
A huge thank you to Loud Speaker for coming in and inspiring our learners!
