About Walk And Talk

British Council organised a ‘Walk and Talk’ competition during the year-end holidays in November 2006 to February 2007 to encourage Primary, Secondary and pre-university students to use expressive English.

The students with the best entries had a chance to work with tertiary-level design and technology students to create a short animation film of their recording. The animated films were then screened at a premiere showing at the Esplanade library in May 2007.

Winners walked away with MP3 players and all students received certificates of participation.
