STUDENTS at a North-East school have been training hard to become future leaders for environmental change by taking part in a ‘green-themed’ public speaking workshop. A team of 23 Year 7 pupils from Hummersknott Academy, in Darlington, spent a day improving their oracy and public speaking skills by sharing their experiences involving trees and climate change, and working in groups to offer feedback on each other’s presentations. The workshop was organised by teacher Eve Sweeting and led by Gareth Jenkins, a public speaking trainer whose background is in conservation and educational theatre. Eve said: “They kids are all so passionate about the environment and caring for our planet, and it’s wonderful how today Gareth has been giving them the tools to really communicate that enthusiasm.
