Blowing bubbles at an academic conference - it’s got to be @EmpoweringYV 🤣🫧 so many inspiring stories of poetry enabling community for social change ✊🏽 #poetrycommunity @PhilosWarwick

The resources are free to use and can be adapted to a range of different settings. Please share them widely - our hope is to inspire a new generation of young people to discover that #YourVoiceMatters. @PoetryDayUK @PoetrySociety #poetrycommunity

To celebrate #NationalPoetryDay, we're launching a free set of *Teaching Resources* designed with three AMAZING poets to help teachers and youth workers enable young people to discover their unique voices through writing and performing poetry. 👇👇 https://t.co/LREwsWwal3

In the third resource, Phil Wilcox takes us through the craft of expression. Have a go at writing a zombie apocalypse shopping list and a 5 minute free write! https://t.co/c3buS4LDzU
