One of the roles of the UCL Conservative Society (as with all young Tory groups) is to help prepare the leaders of tomorrow. We have speakers coming to share their knowledge, we do Port & Policy debates to get members more confident in public speaking and, we go campaigning. All useful skills,but we want to do more. This is where the new website design and format comes in!
So far we have done “5…” and “guess the quotes”. One to help you learn famous quotes (useful for your speeches when in Parliament) and the other to get you thinking about politics and listing your own ideas on subjects. The next part is “UCL speech class” taken from a very good idea the BBC have done.
We want you to write short speeches (around 100 words) pretending you are a politican in a certain situation. We are keeping it short so that you can focus your arguement and not spend too much time on it - time when you could be in the library/pub. I list the first example below - imagine you are that person and write your speech in the comment section below.
Imagine you are…David Cameron giving his 2007 Party Conference speech. In around 100 words try and unite the Party - have fun!
UPDATE: don’t forget that tonight is part 1 of “The Blair Years” on BBC1.
