Poetry for Young People with Jasmine Gardosi – Saturday 16 March 2019
Engaging younger audiences with poetry can be hard. Some of the common misconceptions of poetry – that it’s difficult to understand, and isn’t relatable – can stop many young people from wanting to learn more. The reality is very different, with an exploding culture of spoken word, Instapoetry and political conversation.
This masterclass will teach you how to engage teenagers and young adults through poetry and debunk these myths. You might be a poet who wants to expand your audience, a fiction writer who wants to reach young people in a new way, or an educator wishing to engage students in the art form. During the class, you will learn ways to write and adapt work into poetry to capture the interest of young people. Linking to the current poetry landscape and focusing on spoken word performance, social media, and engagement with specific topical issues, Jasmine will suggest ways in which you can adapt poetry for your own needs.
Jasmine Gardosi is a multiple slam champion, BBC Slam finalist and Birmingham Poet Laureate finalist.
