The English-Speaking Union: The English-Speaking Union is an international charity and organisation. Our mission is to equip young people with the communication skills and cross-cultural understanding they need to thrive and build a more collaborative world. We work with young people and their teachers to improve oracy skills, particularly in areas of disadvantage. Running three national and one international competition, we give young people the opportunity to hone these skills, and offer a variety of cultural exchanges for students, teachers and professionals alike to build relationships and strengthen connections across communities and countries.
At the English-Speaking Union (ESU), we believe that every young person deserves the confidence and communication skills to succeed – in school, in work and in life. That’s why our educational programmes place oracy – the ability to speak and listen effectively – at their heart.
From national competitions to teacher development and global connections, we offer a dynamic range of opportunities for students and educators alike.
