Reimagining Our World

Poetic Unity Presents ‘Spoken Words’

Join us for a creative workshop with Poetic Unity, where we’ll reimagine the world using the power of spoken words. 

Using conversation, coaching, writing and performance, you’ll find the tools you need to create a unique piece of spoken-word poetry. 

Together we’ll create a safe and friendly space where we can explore what a more caring world might be like and how powerful your voice can be.

Materials and refreshments will be provided.

We want you to feel comfortable to be yourself and experience the workshop in a way that is right for you.     

Any time you want to find a space away from the activities, you can head to our Chill-Out Room to lie down or relax. There will be low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions and mats throughout the room. You can also make use of ear defenders, earplugs, board games, stim toys and materials with different textures.  

This workshop is for people aged 14 to 19 years old and disabled people aged 14 to 25 years old. 

You can watch this video to view the information above in BSL.
