SpeakLab Events

Communication Walks, Open Mics and One-Day Workshops — every week in Lahore, open to everyone

Every week · Lahore

Practice that happens outside the classroom

A course teaches you the language. These events are where you actually use it — in front of strangers, on a stage, on your feet. Pick the one that scares you slightly.

Communication Walks

Real conversations, on the move.

A guided walk through the city where the only rule is: speak English. New partner every few minutes, a real topic each time. No desks, no marks — just conversation until it stops feeling difficult.

  • FormatOutdoor walk, rotating partners, coach on hand
  • LengthAbout 90 minutes
  • Best forAnyone who knows English but freezes when speaking it

How the walk runs

We meet at an agreed spot, warm up as a group, then walk in pairs. Every few minutes you swap partner and get a new topic — starting with everyday things and moving to opinions. We finish in a circle where anyone who wants feedback gets it.

The English-only rule

Only English is spoken on the walk. When you get stuck, the coach helps you find the word instead of letting the conversation slip back into Urdu — that moment is exactly where the progress is.

What you need

Comfortable shoes, water, and a willingness to sound imperfect for 90 minutes. You do not need to be fluent — if you can build a basic sentence, you can do this.

Group size

Kept deliberately small so nobody ends up walking in silence.

Open Mics

Five minutes. One mic. Your voice.

An evening where anyone can take the stage — a story, an opinion, a poem, a pitch. A warm room that claps first and critiques kindly, plus direct feedback from the SpeakLab team when you want it.

  • FormatLive stage, 5 minutes each, optional feedback
  • LengthAbout 2 hours
  • Best forStage fear, interview nerves, anyone who wants a mic

How the evening runs

You put your name down when you arrive and speak for up to five minutes. Any format works — a story, an opinion, a poem, a pitch, even something you are still figuring out. The room claps first and critiques kindly.

You can just watch

Plenty of people come the first time and only listen. Nobody is dragged to the mic. Most people sign up on their second visit, once they have seen how forgiving the room is.

Feedback

Optional. If you want it, you get one thing you did well and one thing to work on — quietly and one-to-one if you would rather not hear it in front of everyone.

Preparation

Nothing to memorise. Notes on your phone or a piece of paper are completely fine.

One-Day Workshop

One focused day, one skill sharpened.

A full intensive on one theme — interviews, presentations, storytelling or debate. Short teaching, long practice: most of the day you are speaking, being recorded, and being corrected. You leave with one skill measurably better.

  • FormatFull-day intensive, drills and live practice
  • LengthOne full day
  • Best forProfessionals and students who want a fast, focused reset

The themes

Each workshop takes one theme and goes deep: interview skills, presentations, storytelling, or debate. The theme rotates, so coming back gives you something genuinely new rather than a repeat.

How the day is built

Short teaching blocks and long practice blocks. You are on your feet for most of it — speaking, being recorded, watching it back, and going again with the correction applied.

What you take home

A recording of your first attempt and your last one, plus a short personal action list of the two or three things that will move you fastest.

Group size

Limited, because everyone has to get real stage time within a single day.

You don't have to be a SpeakLab student

These events are open to the whole city. If you are enrolled with us, this is how you practise between classes. If you are not, you are just as welcome — many people come to the events first and decide about the program later.

🎓 Enrolled SpeakLab students

Your classroom practice, applied in the real world. Come as often as you like — this is where the 8 weeks actually stick.

👋 Everyone else

No enrollment, no test, no commitment. Register, show up, speak. Students, professionals, and anyone who wants to get better at being heard.

Save your spot
