Today, our children are growing up in a highly competitive environment. No matter where their journeys take them, they need to speak for themselves, participate in discussions on issues small and big, and build new relationships. SpeakUp helps them to do all this and more.
We become aware of a child’s abilities when the child articulates thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Our immersive training sessions are built on the core idea that children need to develop their viewpoints and share their perspectives without fear of getting judged by others.
We help children develop the self-confidence to think clearly and present their thoughts persuasively, without any inhibition. Children who are confident of their capabilities know how to stand up for themselves and others with sensitivity. They can say ‘no’ when it is required, communicate with clarity, and forge and maintain healthy relationships that meet their own and others’ needs.
We aim to empower the young generation with the skills needed to think critically, speak powerfully, and listen effectively in a cross-cultural environment to thrive now and in the future.
