Topical Talk Live

Topical Talk Live is a new end-of-year experience from The Economist Educational Foundation. Our team will deliver the latest Topical Talk Headline live to your students.

It's a great way to bring fresh energy to your classroom, especially after a long term. Perfect for new teachers or those short on time, it lets you see Topical Talk in action with minimal prep. And, if you're already familiar with Topical Talk, it's a chance to see the latest Headline brought to life by our team and experience it from a student’s perspective.

While your role is to support students in the room, we’ll lead the teaching – bringing real-world issues, discussion and skills-building straight to your class. There’s a live chat just for teachers, so you can ask questions, observe the teaching-style up-close and see how your students develop their oracy, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.

It’s not a replacement for your own teaching – it’s a live boost to it.
