What do we do?
Captivate 22 offers public speaking workshops tailored for secondary school students. We believe that public speaking is a skill with benefits beyond the classroom and even school. Our workshops strive to help students develop the skills and confidence of a good presenter. Our lead instructor, with a background in psychology, integrates effective teaching strategies to help students learn in an engaging and memorable way.
Why learn at all?
Public speaking skills can offer students an early advantage leading into adulthood. Learning public speaking skills can help you in job interviews, networking, leadership roles and even making new friends.
What do studies say?
A study which surveyed over 1,000 university students found that 63% of students reported fear of public speaking while 89% said they wished their undergraduate program included classes to improve at public speaking (Ferreira Marinho et al., 2017). Anxiety disorders have become the most prevalent mental health disorder globally, and young people are most at risk (World Health Organization, 2025). Wouldn't it help if students could learn to be more confident?
