Speakers
“What’s involved? What would be expected of me? I’m not a teacher!”
We could not continue our important work across Scotland without the support from statutory bodies, grant making trusts, corporate sponsorship or individual personal donations.
We can offer you the following support:
Training, delivered by RHET
Teaching you how to give the right information with the right pitch, or how to deliver games/activities to use in class
Meet other speakers
Meet other speakers who are RHET volunteers and can offer their advice, peer to peer
Identify interests
We’ll work with you to identify what children will be interested in seeing and hearing about from your knowledge
Build your own kit
Offer props, pictures, powerpoints etc., to get you started as you build your own kit depending on your areas of expertise
RHET’s work could not continue without the generous time donated by our hundreds of volunteers
There is no expectation on the number of classes you could talk to; one class per year would make a huge difference.
We are lucky to have speakers from small holdings to large estates, machinery dealers, grain merchants, young farmers and even lecturers and teachers.
There are no set criteria for a speaker, just a passion to share with others the knowledge you have. Classroom talks take place all year round and are available across Scotland for all pupils from nursery to high school, ages 3-18.
RHET’s work could not continue without the generous time donated by our hundreds of volunteers who help us with farm visits, classroom talks, estate days, running area committees, growing projects, taking tractors into schools and the Royal Highland Show, to name but a few.
All we ask for is a little of your time…
