Dream Speakers are professionals from various fields who share their unique journeys, insights, and experiences with our Dreamer Scholars. These sessions go beyond the conventional classroom setting, offering a dynamic platform for Dream Speakers to connect with Dreamer Scholars in a meaningful way. Every academic year (September to May), IHADLA organizes Dream Speakers sessions for both groups of Dreamer Scholars. Dream Speakers conduct a brief presentation about their own profession; perhaps tell stories about their career paths; speak about education and the importance of reading, writing, and other subjects; provide life lessons and words of advice, and so much more. Why Become a Dream Speaker? Impactful Engagement: Speakers passionately interact with students, emphasizing the significance of education, reading, writing, and other subjects. Flexible Formats: Whether you prefer props, PowerPoint, handouts, or simply spoken words, the focus is on providing diverse insights into life’s options and lessons. Rewarding Experience: Spending an hour as a Dream Speaker is a fulfilling way to contribute to the personal and academic growth of young minds. Session Details: Duration : 45 minutes to one hour Timing: 3:00pm to 3:45pm during the after-school program with middle school students on Tuesday’s Emphasis : Educational journeys, importance of subjects, life lessons, and valuable advice Interaction: Dynamic Q&A sessions where our Dreamer Scholars asks questions Additional Details: Participating as a Dream Speaker is a rewarding way to spend part of a day. Speakers freely impart professional experiences, life lessons, and valuable advice. Speakers can bring friends or colleagues to enhance the experience.
