Programme Synopsis The Poetry Slam Workshop: Verse to Voice (3-Hour Intensive) immerses students in the creative process through guided writing exercises, collaborative group work, and expressive stage techniques. Participants learn to craft, refine, and perform original works that draw on the core literary skills of storytelling, poetic rhythm, and dramatic voice. These foundational abilities extend naturally to other creative expressions, including story and monologue slams as well as other script-based performances, equipping students to transform written ideas into powerful live presentations. The programme may be extended into a multi-session course that deepens students’ writing, peer-review, and performance skills, culminating in public outcomes such as a school Poetry, Story, or Monologue Slam, or a themed creative showcase.
