Spoken Word Poetry
In recent years we have seen the exponential growth of spoken word poetry in popular culture. Young people in particular have connected with this media and have found a platform to share their opinions, voice and stories.
Action Education offers a variety of Spoken Word Poetry programmes that can be delivered over a series of weeks, or as one-off workshops. We have a variety of themes that we work with and can also cater to the specific needs of your group. The programmes are designed to give young people the tools and confidence to be able to articulate their own journey, experiences and world view. They can be delivered in a wide range of community settings and within schools - we cover all age ranges from pre-school through to secondary schools. When working in High Schools our programmes can be aligned to The New Zealand Curriculum for English if requested.
Action Education is proud to have the experienced and professional facilitators of the South Auckland Poets Collective leading these dynamic youth development programmes in partnership.
We also provide professional development in this area and training in the use of our spoken word best practice guide. If this is of interest please contact us to sign up for Professional Development opportunities.
