POETS OF TODAY - VOICES OF TOMORROW

In each partner country (Slovenia, Poland, Hungary, Finland and Serbia), an artistic team of four people has been created to develop the methodology and create an artistic, poetic and educational programme. The Polish artistic team consists of: Małgorzata Lebda (poet), Weronika Murek (writer, playwright), Rafał Siderski (visual artist, photographer) and Wenancjusz Ochmann (musician, educator, vocal coach).

To encourage poetry reading, we want to bring the work of contemporary poets to young people and local communities. We are inviting ten Polish poets to visit ten schools in the spring of 2024 as part of POETRY DAYS organised within the project. The invited poets will read their works, talk to young people, answer questions and inspire the listeners to discover poetry. They will also present their poems as part of the POETIC EVENTS organised in the city space in the summer of 2023.

The presentations will be prepared beforehand, during workshops with the members of the artistic team – specialists in such fields as theatre, improvisation and speech techniques – in collaboration with other poets and teachers. The experience gained from the project can be used while organising subsequent poetry presentations, and the project itself provides an opportunity to exchange experiences.
