Y12 have Gweek Training!

On Thursday Year 12 learners were fortunate to have a workshop led by James Bryce the CEO of Gweek. He was on the BBC last week discussing how spoken communication is becoming a lost art.

Learners carried out a series of group activities to assess their speech patterns and tried out various strategies to help maintain the interest of the listener. Learners were then introduced to a Gweek app that uses AI to improve the quality and authenticity of speech. The learners will be working with this app next term to prepare them for future interviews and careers.
