Hold your own Oratory Festival in your school

This year, we’re excited to offer a new option for schools around the world. We can work with you to help you hold your own Oratory Festival!

Using our experience from our first few years of the International Oratory Festival, we can design a bespoke syllabus for your Festival. You can take your pick of our poetry, prose, acting, public speaking and news options. And we can deliver teacher training and pupil workshops to help you excel as orators.

Our expert adjudicators can help judge your Festival either via Zoom or (for schools in the UK) in person. Depending on when you want to hold your Festival, we can also explore options for linking you up with another school’s Festival elsewhere in the world.

All your students will receive a full adjudicator’s report and special certificate to celebrate their achievement.
