Voices Rising: A Public Speaking Journey with APSN

Me2 Centre of Inclusive Arts had the privilege of journeying with two APSN classes through our Public Speaking Programme. What began as a simple introduction to voice, confidence, and expression soon blossomed into a series of uplifting sessions filled with courage, joy, and discovery. With one dedicated instructor in each class, students received the steady guidance and personal support they needed to grow at their own pace.Across the seven sessions, every lesson invited students to explore a different part of what it means to speak with clarity and intention. From playful warm ups like Word Association and vocal exercises, to practising projection through fun tongue twisters, the classroom often buzzed with laughter and renewed confidence.

Body language also became an important part of their journey. Through imaginative activities such as transforming into objects, creating shapes with their bodies, and mindful movement exercises, students learned how posture, gestures, and presence play a vital role in speaking to an audience. These sessions encouraged teamwork, loosened nerves, and helped everyone discover the joy of expressing themselves physically and vocally.

We are incredibly proud of every student who took part in this programme. Their willingness to try, to grow, and to step out of their comfort zones reminds us why spaces like these matter. With encouragement, clear structure, and a nurturing environment, every young person can find a voice that feels fully their own.
