About this opportunity
The Confidence Series is a theme-based summer English course from British Council India that helps children and teenagers build self-expression skills through debates, presentations, speeches, and performance-based tasks.
The course is designed for participants aged 6 to 17, with a separate curriculum tailored to five age bands so that debate and presentation tasks match each group's language level. Classes run as face-to-face sessions at the provider's Teaching Centre, led by British Council English language teachers using interactive, activity-based lessons.
Participants build confidence speaking and presenting in English while developing skills in structured argumentation, storytelling, and real-world communication tasks such as debates and speeches. Sessions combine group projects, creative exercises, and guided practice so that each participant gets repeated opportunities to speak and perform in front of peers.
The Confidence Series is one of two theme options offered as part of British Council India's annual Summer Camp, alongside a separate Discovery Series that focuses on curiosity and collaborative problem-solving. Families can choose to enrol in a single theme or both as a bundle.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Confidence Series build lasting public speaking skills beyond the two-week course?
The course structures each session around real tasks such as debates, speeches, and presentations, so participants practice applying skills rather than just discussing theory, helping build habits that carry into school and everyday communication.
What kind of activities can participants expect during daily sessions?
Each two-hour session combines interactive discussions, creative tasks, group projects, and performance-based exercises, giving participants repeated hands-on practice in speaking, presenting, and collaborating with peers in English.
How is the curriculum adapted for different age groups within the same series?
The Confidence Series is taught in five separate age bands, from 6 years through 15 to 17 years, allowing teachers to pitch debate, presentation, and performance tasks at a level appropriate to each group's language and social development.
Does completing the Confidence Series require prior public speaking experience?
No prior public speaking or debate experience is required. The course is designed as an introduction to structured self-expression, building confidence progressively through guided, activity-based practice rather than assuming existing skill.
