Every child has something to say, but how many are ready to speak out in the presence of others? How do we help children to overcome stage fear and express themselves freely in front of an audience? The key is to start slow and then build up the techniques as the kids learn the essential skills of public speaking through fun games and activities.

Mr. Rajesh (Raj) Nair is doing just that at Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library on saturdays. Raj is a distinguished toastmaster (DTM) from toastmasters.org and is passionate about working with children. His aim is not just help them speak well, but also to give them important life skills and attributes like confidence and self-belief.

It was an amazing experience for our children – to be able to express their thoughts and feelings without any fear. By doing less study and by doing more practice, children got more confident and excited about the whole thing. This is what our young participants had to say -“The classes are a lot of fun! We learned a lot about presenting in front of crowds and projecting our thoughts. We also enjoyed making new friends.”
