Tara Moss - Speaking Out

WHY SPEAKING OUT MATTERS

Author and advocate Tara Moss discusses Speaking Out - a 21st Century handbook for Women and Girls, and argues for why we need more diverse voices in public debate, politics and the media, particularly women’s voices, which currently make up less than 1/4 of voices in the media worldwide.

This session will provide parents and students with:

• Answers on How can I speak out?’ in the most practical way.

• Advice on preparation, speaking out and negotiating public spaces – sometimes in the face of downright savage trolling.

• A focus particularly on social media and online safety, offering tips on how to research, form arguments, deliver confidently, find support and handle criticism.

Students are encouraged to attend this event.
