Speak Up

Project: Speak Up

Company: Rewrite

Speak Up is a creative writing project for ten Key Stage 3 students at one Southwark secondary school. Participants will attend a series of four after-school sessions (lasting 1.5 hours) in order to develop poetry and spoken word pieces based on the theme of global prejudice and injustice. Through the process they will also be introduced to contemporary poets and spoken word artists. The project will culminate in a sharing event where participants will perform their own work. Their writing will also be collated into a professionally designed and printed booklet.

Where: In-school

Duration: Four 1.5 hour after-school workshops

Number of participants: Up to ten young people

Dates: Workshops on Thursdays from 3 November with a sharing on Wednesday 23 or Thursday 24 November
