TALKINC Club & IAR Present “Becoming Brave” to Help Children Build Confidence in Communication
TALKINC, through its social initiative TALKINC Club, collaborated with Indonesia Aksi Relawan (IAR) to host an educational event titled “Becoming Brave” for children supported by IAR. The event offered an interactive and enjoyable learning environment where children could build the confidence to communicate, express themselves, and explore their potential and dreams.
The collaboration between TALKINC Club and IAR grew out of a shared belief that every child deserves a safe space to learn, try new things, and discover their courage. Communication skills are valuable far beyond speaking in front of an audience. They also help children express ideas, build relationships, and grow into individuals who can recognize and develop their potential.
TALKINC Club brings together TALKINC alumni who have previously participated in its learning and personal development programs. By volunteering, alumni have the opportunity to pass on the knowledge, experiences, and skills they have gained to the next generation, while creating opportunities for children to grow and develop their potential.
During “Becoming Brave” TALKINC Club volunteers introduced the fundamentals of public speaking through a child friendly approach. Participants learned “Three Techniques for Confident Speaking”, “Feet of Steel”, to develop a steady, confident stance, “Friendly Eyes”, to encourage eye contact; and “A Champion’s Voice”, to practice speaking clearly and enthusiastically.
Learning took place through interactive activities, games, speaking challenges, and opportunities to present in groups. Children were encouraged to give it a try, share their opinions, and understand that feeling nervous when speaking in front of others is completely natural.
Beyond communication skills, the event also encouraged children to imagine their futures. Through “Dare to Dream”, they explored different professions, imagined what they would like to become, and practiced sharing their dreams with others.
Through TALKINC Club, TALKINC aims to create an ongoing cycle of learning and giving back. Alumni who have grown through their learning experiences with TALKINC now have the opportunity to share those benefits with others. In this way, learning extends beyond personal growth and becomes a contribution that can make a meaningful difference in communities and for future generations.
The collaboration with IAR is intended to help create more opportunities for children, empowering them not only to speak with confidence today, but also to dream boldly and take steps toward the future they envision.
