WHAT WE’RE SETTING OUT TO DO
If you’d like to make poetry more accessible to kids and help make poetry live for them, as something relevant to their lives, then you might like to follow this series of easy-to-run workshops, a ‘poetry roadmap’. Linked with artwork these form the basis of the100 VIEWS Project.
We need to inspire kids to read and listen to poetry in order to simply enjoy the magic of words! But we also need to help them read and write poetry more eagerly and thoughtfully as a means of expressing themselves. One way we can initiate this is through workshops.
