YOUR VOICE COULD CHANGE THE WORLD 

Slam poetry has been used to amplify the voices that need to be heard to enact change. From climate action, women’s rights, mental health advocacy, to preservation of First Nations culture, and everything in between. If everyone was listening to you, what would you want them to hear?

Hosted by SWSA and the State Library of South Australia, this series of three sessions in July will use the national competition’s rules and structure, allowing you to learn how to write, perform, and make people want to listen.

All sessions at
Hetzel Lecture Theatre, Institute Building, State Library of South Australia
corner of Kintore Avenue and North Terrace, Adelaide.

$10 per session
Bookings required.
