Try it out, see what you think
If you don’t like the session, no issues, there’s no obligation whatsoever to come to the next one.
About us:
Speak Up is a brand-new society, established in November 2020. After being at the university for a few years, we realised how important public speaking is in university life (and life beyond uni!), but that it is often something that makes people feel nervous and uncomfortable. So we decided to create a safe and fun environment where people can learn to enjoy public speaking, whilst making new friends who can relate to these struggles. As a society, we are dedicated to making sure that our events are fun, relaxed, and accessible to everyone. We believe that being comfortable with your own voice should not be a privilege, but should be something that everyone is able to do!
Check out this video to learn more about what we do!
Our aims:
- To provide a safe space for UoB students to improve their confidence and practice public speaking.
- Offer a variety of enjoyable public speaking activities to help members improve their abilities and confidence in seminars and presentations
- Provide ideas and resources for students to continue engagement in their own time
- Encourage conversations about how students can be supported with aspects of their studies that depend on public speaking
Events:
- We hold public speaking workshops once a week, on Tuesdays at 7pm-9pm in room 5.22 Senate House
- We sometimes hold extra events at different times, so follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with that!
We also offer one-to-one sessions which aim to provide support with academic presentations!
If you've got a presentation coming up, feel free to book a slot with us so you have a chance to practice it in a fun and relaxed setting :)
