A practical workshop on new approaches to writing, performing and listening to poetry. All Literacy and English teachers and poetry workshop leaders (in any context) are welcome

The event starts at 10.30am and ends at 1pm, registration and coffee is from 10.15. It will be at Nottingham Writers’ Studio, 25 Hockley, Nottingham NG1 1FH. Cost £5 including refreshments.

The workshop will draw on successful practices which grew out of the Poetry Matters ESRC seminars and appear in Making Poetry Happen: transforming the poetry classroom (edited by Sue Dymoke, Myra Barrs, Andrew Lambirth and Anthony Wilson and published by Bloomsbury in January 2015).

You will find out much more about Making Poetry Happen and participate in lively poetry making activities focusing on poetry writing, slam workshops and performance, listening to poetry and the Gothic. All the activities are suitable for use in a variety of contexts with KS2 – post-16 students and adults. There will also be a Five Leaves poetry bookshop at the event with copies of Making Poetry Happen on sale at a discount and a range of other poetry titles.
