‘Communication is one of the most important things, and I feel the ESU has set us up for life.’ Schools’ Mace 2024 participant
Oracy gives young people the skills and confidence to shape their lives and to build a more connected and cooperative world
Both nationally and internationally, public discussion and political debate are increasingly polarised and divided. Social media, fake news and new technologies such as AI can create echo chambers, where claims pass unchallenged, and different views are hard to find. The English-Speaking Union shows that there is a more constructive and collaborative path. The ESU was founded in 1918 to build greater understanding and friendships between people and nations. We are an educational charity with international reach, with an ESU in over 50 countries. Today our work is focussed on training young people in oracy – speaking and listening skills, in critical thinking and self-expression - to build skilful communicators and engaged citizens and leaders.
The English-Speaking Union and our work is more important now than ever.
