Mother Tongue Other Tongue 2024 Leeds Language Week Edition

Mother Tongue Other Tongue is a multi-lingual poetry project, created as a Laureate Education Project by Professor Carol Ann Duffy DBE (UK Poet Laureate 2009-2019) to celebrate cultural diversity and the many languages spoken in schools across the UK. This initiative originally began running in the North West, coordinated by the Manchester Poetry Library at Manchester Met University. Now as part of Leeds Language Week, the University of Leeds and Routes into Languages Yorkshire and Humberside are hosting two separate poetry themed competitions in November. Winners of the competition will have the opportunity to appear in the Mother Tongue Other Tongue 2024 digital anthology.
