Inspiring our young people and teachers!
Set up in January 2009 by Lon Kwantes, Inspirational Speakers 4 Schools offers pupils and teachers a respite from facts; exams; targets. Lon has brought together a variety of excellent and passionate speakers who offer schools talks about spirituality, holistic health, self esteem, positivity, motivation and achievement, creativity and brilliance, conflict and forgiveness and more.
Lon's motivation in setting up this initiative is to give our kids more than an academic education. Finding the essence of who we are without any particular religious affiliations is the foundation of many of these talks. Inspirational talks/workshops integrate very well with the PSHE/ Citizenship programme and the ECM outcomes. Talks/ Workshops can also be incorporated into teacher training events.
