Youth Advocates

Then our Youth Advocates group is for you! Through monthly sessions and creative workshops, you’ll have a platform to explore ideas that are important to you and work with others to produce your own creative projects.

What you’ll be doing

This Spring Term our workshop series is ‘Document Where You Stand: Start Spoken Word & Produce a Poetry Night’. Youth Advocates will be involved in workshops around communication, form, rhythm & performance. The outcome will be a collective open mic poetry night hosted at Unitas Youth Zone, celebrating Youth Advocate’s voices.

Session 1 (Thu 9th Jan): Communication & Connection – learning how spoken word can be used to communicate & connect with ourselves and each other.

Session 2 (Thu 6th Feb): Framework & Form – building ideas into poetry.

Session 3 (Thu 6th March): Rhyme & Rhythm – how to create poetic flow through establishing rhythm.

Session 4 (Thu 3rd April): Projection & Performance – bringing the words off the page & onto stage.

Sessions take place during term time. Sessions are open to everyone* and new faces are always encouraged!
