Voices that Matter – Teaching Poetry for Social Justice

Poetry is one of the most democratic art forms we can offer children and young people. It requires no specialist equipment, no perfect spelling and no single “right” answer. Instead, it invites pupils to speak in their own rhythms, in their own languages and from the truths they carry. When we frame poetry through social justice, it becomes a space where identity is affirmed, cultural heritage is recognised, and every voice matters.<br/>
