Each month we will focus on a different poet. We will learn a little about the poet, read, translate and interpret a few of their poems.

Each session will include some of the following:

• Learning new vocab
• Poetry structure
• Writing exercises
• Reading from Urdu text or Roman script
• Sharing your own writing
• Practising spoken Urdu
• Sharing your favourite poems and poets

This group is suitable for over 16s. All under 18s need a parent or guardian. If you need to bring younger children due to childcare issues please get in touch with Kauser Kukhtar, Our Patch Creative Practitioner, on [email protected] before the session.

Since launching in 2024, more than 140 creative projects have taken place, bringing people together to learn skills, make connections, and experience the joy of taking part in art. This is Our Patch.
