About the Event

Immerse yourself in a welcoming and vibrant environment, where you will have the opportunity to connect with fellow poetry enthusiasts and be inspired by the incredible talent of Simone Yasmin.

Simone Yasmin is a renowned writer and spoken word artist, whose work raises awareness of injustice and marginalised voices. In this workshop, she will lead you through the process of creating your own pieces, based on David Lammy’s Windrush Poetry “We’re here because you were there ” as well as other more provocative pieces.

Whether you’re a seasoned poet or just starting your poetic journey, this workshop is open to all levels of experience.

This workshop is not to be missed.
