Our talks are a great way to get a lot of information across to a large number of pupils. Talks can be delivered to up to 200 pupils at a time and we often recommend working with smaller groups of up to 100 pupils that allow the talks to be more interactive.
Our workshops are for smaller groups of 30-35 pupils. These workshops are about creating space for discussion between pupils and providing plenty of opportunity for pupils to ask our facilitators questions in a safe and open environment.
We recommend that all pupils receiving a workshop have a talk beforehand that introduces them to key ideas before space for discussion (you can see a sample structure of a talk and workshop day at the bottom of this page).
