Public Speaking and Business Camp for Teens UAE 2026 — Build a Real Pitch, Present to Real Judges (Ages 13-15)
The single most consistently cited skill separating successful people across every professional field is the ability to communicate clearly and compellingly. Yet most school curricula dedicate almost no structured time to teaching it. EdFlik's 2026 Summer Camp for ages 13-15 is built specifically to close that gap, culminating in a real Investor Pitch Showcase that parents are invited to attend.
Why Public Speaking and Business Belong Together at This Age
Thirteen to fifteen is the age range where teenagers begin developing genuine independent thinking and the capacity for structured argument, but it is also an age where social self-consciousness about public performance peaks. EdFlik's programme deliberately pairs public speaking instruction with a tangible business-building project, because having something concrete to present gives teenagers a reason to speak that is bigger than the discomfort of speaking itself.
What the Public Speaking Curriculum Actually Covers
Taught by Ms. Shivangi, who brings ELA and SAT Verbal expertise alongside 10 years of communication and soft skills training experience including a tenure at Zee Learn Ltd, the Public Speaking track is structured and progressive:
• Foundational delivery: managing nerves and eliminating filler words using real-time techniques that work under genuine pressure
• Structure and clarity: building a clear argument with an opening hook, supporting points, and a memorable close
• Leadership speaking styles: authoritative, inspirational, and conversational registers, and how to shift between them
• Live application: every principle is immediately applied in a live speaking exercise within the same session
|
EdFlik's
non-negotiable rule: every student speaks in every Public Speaking session.
If a student has not spoken within 20 minutes, the Host personally gives them
a direct, low-pressure question. Invisibility is not permitted. |
Business Building — From Idea to Investor Pitch
Taught by Mr. Amit, who holds an MSc in Maths and MA in Economics, with 17 years of experience spanning Digital Marketing and GenAI/Automation across both CBSE and Cambridge curricula, the Business track teaches the Problem-Solution framework from first principles.

The Grand Showcase — A Real Event, Not a Closing Ceremony
The final session of the 13-15 camp is the Investor Pitch Showcase. Each teenager delivers a 5-minute investor-style pitch, takes live Q&A from a teacher panel, and defends their financial numbers under genuine questioning. Parents are specifically invited and strongly encouraged to attend. Peer-voted awards are given live across categories including Most Confident Delivery, Most Creative Idea, and Most Viable Business.
This is not a rehearsed performance — students do not practise the exact final pitch in advance. It is a genuine presentation under real conditions, which is precisely what makes the confidence built across the two weeks meaningful rather than performative.
What Your Teenager Leaves With
• Multiple live presentations delivered in front of peers and teachers
• Structured, professional feedback on delivery and business thinking
• A complete, written 1-page business plan they built themselves
• A genuine Investor Pitch experience — evidence of communication and entrepreneurial thinking
