Building on the success of previous editions of WordSlam, Goethe Institut and Culture Advocates Caucus take poetry to secondary schools under the title: School Outreach Programme.
The 3-day workshop started on Wednesday, November 18, in Ajegunle with more than forty students of extreme intelligence and it will end today. With this workshop, Ajegunle students have proven to be among the best by all standards.
All things been equal, we hope to open another 3-day workshop on the Island next week prior the main event on November 28 at Goethe-Institut starting at 3:00pm.
This edition of WORDSLAM is going to be the best. Among the featured poets will be renown performers like Sage Has.son, Ayeola Mabiaku and Ayodeji Akinpelu. Many more will mount the stage ranging from different backgrounds like rap, reggae, classic poetry to performers in the tradition of griots. The “Open Mind & Mic” session will, like in previous editions of “WordSlam”, give members of the audience the chance to perform a short poem as well.
