Unheard Voices is a free online poetry workshop for young people with disabilities, put together by Young Storyhouse as part of Kaleidoscope.
Join us in a celebration of all our disabilities in this poetry workshop with Gabriella Gay and Adrian McKenzie with the theme of: ‘I am’. Aimed at young people with disabilities, this workshop is open to anyone who wants to share their uniqueness. While the session itself will focus on poetry, we encourage anyone who enjoys writing, in any of its many forms, to take part.
