Students from across the college have been getting inspired during a day of student leader training with the fabulous team from Loudspeaker.
The high-energy sessions were aimed at empowering our students with the confidence to use their voice, boost communication skills and raise aspirations. Course reps from every curriculum area as well as students from performing arts got involved in the day long workshop.
Construction student, El-Khaliq Olorunnisola, said: “I’ve really enjoyed the Loud Speaker workshop. It’s inspired me to put myself out there more, to do more and better myself. It also gave me the chance to meet new people and get to know them, which is good because that’s what a lot of the workshop was about, making connections.”
Calvin Eden, Founder and Director of youth training provider, Loud Speaker, commented: “The young people in Gateshead College are so willing to want to learn, which meant the workshops have gone amazingly. There was non-stop energy throughout the two days and we’re really excited to see how the students use all of the new skills they’ve learned.”
Calvin founded Loud Speaker to make life more fulfilling for young people by enabling them to envision a world where they can confidently speak out.
