Now, more than ever, young people are needing support with developing their communication skills.

Our targeted workshops have a particular focus on developing students’ ‘in person’ communication skills. This includes:

• discussion skills

• problem solving

• team work

• leadership skills

• presentation skills

Through hands on activities and student led discussions, students will develop an understanding of how individuals communicate and the impact this can have on group dynamics. They will learn how to express their own ideas and build on others to problem solve and achieve a common goal. The debrief after each activity allows students to reflect on the successes and challenges they experienced and the implications this has for the overall success of their group. Strong links are made between these activities and real world situations, making for authentic learning experiences.

These skills are essential for working together in the classroom, in the playground and in the future work force.

This program is for all students Stage 2 and above.

It is also perfect for smaller groups like:

• Student Representative Council

• Senior Student Leadership Teams

• Debating/ STEM/ Drama Groups

Additionally, this program can be modified to help students understand the value of dealing with things ‘in person’ and how learning to communicate effectively can benefit their relationships with peers, teachers and parents. We help your students work through problems together by getting on the same page and understanding how individuals communicate and the implications this can have for the success their relationships.

Our activities focus on developing positive and effective communication through fostering:

• discussion skills

• an understanding of body language

• active listening skills

Through discussion, strong links are made between activities and real world situations that your students face regularly. This results in reduced workload for teachers as less time will be spent on dealing with ‘drama’ arising from miscommunication.

We work in collaboration with you to determine your focus for the workshop/s and determine the values and ideas you want conveyed to your students.

Alternatives:

You can also select a particular focus such as ‘team building’ or ‘public speaking and speech writing/delivery’ and we can create the perfect workshop to meet that goal. Anything is possible!
