Venue: British Library Player
Tickets: FREE
With Farrah Serroukh, Charlotte Hacking, Ruth Awolola, Gaby Wilson and Olivia Danso.
We hosted an education round-table event, for those interested in the Poetry in the Primary Classroom Continuing Professional Development and Learning (CPDL) training programme, which took place from January to June 2021. This event brought together educators and artists to discuss the learning from the programme, the impact on the teachers and the pupils, and what it really means to bring African and diaspora poetry into the primary classroom in a meaningful way.
