Poetry for Change and Action (Online and In-Person Workshops)

This workshop is for anyone interested in exploring how poetry can support processes of change and activism. In the first hour, we will look at how poems have been used to speak truth to power and amplify seldom-heard, underrepresented and culturally diverse voices. In the second hour, we’ll help you consider how you might use poetry to express your own experiences and beliefs, and to inspire change through writing. Each workshop will follow a similar structure but explore a different theme or issue of social significance. You’re welcome to attend just one, or take part in the full series.
