THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNION THE INNER TEMPLE The ESU brings together and empowers people of different languages and cultures. By building skills and confidence in communication, we give people the opportunity to realise their potential. Worldwide, the members and alumni of the ESU support these objectives. The Inner Temple is one of the four Inns of Court. The Inns of Court are unincorporated associations which have existed since the 14th Century and play a central role in the recruitment of student members, training of aspiring barristers and continuing professional development of established barristers. The Inns of Court hold the exclusive rights to call candidates to practise law at the Bar of England and Wales. The Inn has over 8,000 qualified members, including Judges, Barristers (both practising and non-practising) and Pupils. Our vision is to provide people in the UK and internationally with communication skills, confidence and networking opportunities. We endeavour to see that the value of good communication as an essential attribute for individual, community and global development and understanding is publicly recognised and widely integrated into education and social policy. The ESU is a membership organisation with representation world-wide, which is registered as an educational charity. It is non-political and non-governmental. The ESU Public Speaking Competition for Schools was started by the Brighton and Hove Branch of the ESU in 1960 and since has grown to be a major stimulus of effective spoken English in British schools. The ESU Speech & Debate Department was set up in 1995. In addition to the Public Speaking Competition for Schools, Speech & Debate also administers the John Smith Memorial Mace (the National Universities Debating Competition), the Universities Mooting Competition, the Schools Mace and the International Public Speaking Competition. The Discover Your Voice programme is also administered by Speech & Debate. It offers training workshops and resources for the development of public speaking and debating in schools. Finally, Speech & Debate also selects and trains the England Worlds Schools Debating Team and the British Universities Debating Squad, which engages in overseas coaching.
