The Speak Out Challenge

The Speak Out Challenge is a programme designed to develop young people's confidence and communication skills, giving them the opportunity to speak out on issues they care about.

900 young people across Peterborough and Cambridge schools have taken part in the Speak Out Challenge 2023-24 with a full day public speaking workshop. The event's speakers are all Year 10s who have progressed to the final with their phenomenal speeches.

The Event

Up to 18 finalists will speak out in front of a crowd with an original speech that highlights their unique perspectives and passions. Each speech will last between 1.5 and 3 mins, and there will also be some live entertainment halfway through the evening.

Speeches will be judged by a panel of VIPs from a wide range of sectors and the evening will conclude with an awards ceremony, celebrating young voices from across the region, and crowning the ARU Peterborough Speak Out Champion 2024!

-- The event is FREE --
