Following the success of Keji last year, Arts & Media School Islington played host, for the second year running, to the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge. The stage looked amazing and Keji took to the stage to introduce each of the speakers.
It was another incredible Regional Final with an evening that was packed with original and insightful ideas from many young speakers from the majority of the secondary schools in Islington. We are incredibly proud of our entries, Roderick and Olivia from year 10 and also Jameil and Xirone for their dance performance at the interval.
