Successful Presentations Effectively Articulating Knowledge (SPEAK) is a presentations development programme that is designed to enable participants to create and deliver effective presentations.
The SPEAK programme for students will be taking place in semester 2 in person in the UCC Skills Centre (Boole Library Q-1) during the following dates and times. Please note, attendance at all sessions is mandatory to be eligible for the digital badge certificate:
Wed 29th Jan 1-3pm
Wed 5th Feb 1-3pm
Wed 12th Feb 1-3pm
Wed 19th Feb 1-3pm (Presentation Assessments)
Following the closing date for sign-ups at 5pm on Wed 22nd January, we will send an email with all relevant information.
Each session will deliver a specific element of presentation skills that will allow you to become aware of the broad spectrum of performance in everyday life, as well as to develop specific techniques to enhance presentation skills and visual communication.
These techniques include the development of an expanded range of physical and vocal expressiveness, expanded approaches to audience awareness and enlarged awareness of non-verbal and non-physical communication. Storytelling, improvisation, scripting, messaging and digital skills will all be explored in the sessions allowing for the development of a full set of skills required for successful dissemination.
