TES cover Cara & Olivia's speech at The House of Commons, April 2018

On Tuesday 24th April 2018, Alumni girls Cara & Olivia attended the #SpeakingUp event at The House of Commons to discuss the power of oracy & oracy in education.

"RECLAIM is where I found my voice, the one I knew I had but was never quite sure how to use. When I first joined, I was completely ignorant. I had no confidence, and the idea of public speaking, especially in front of people I had never met before, terrified me, and almost everything resulted in me crying, purely because of lack of self-confidence and fear of failure.”

"RECLAIM taught me that my voice could be as important as the MPs who speak here everyday!"
