“Thanks to you and all the brilliant team involved in today's "Law Day Experience". It was fantastically organised. We were in awe of the whole experience. It was a day that captured all students and staff from beginning to end.”

“An invaluable experience… encouraging our students to adapt their delivery, with many making huge progress in a short space of time, discovering that leaving their comfort zone and speaking in front of people is hugely rewarding.”

“I have seen timid, shy students flourish and develop into articulate, confident young people...and finally find their voices, able to express their ideas and opinions in an informed and erudite way. Confidence has been built up with a mixture of humour, expertise and mutual respect; professional and approachable, the students warmed to them instantly. I would heartily recommend the programme to all. I have found the Kalisher Debating Programme has had an enormous impact (pupils) are now more confident, more willing to share their ideas and opinions and more critical as thinkers and learners.”

“The competition has seen our young people grow in confidence, maturity and most of all aspiration. I would love to be able to produce the figures and statistics to quantify the impact on our young people. But I feel it is in the heat of a job interview or elsewhere in the bright futures of our young people that the real rewards will be shown.”
