Word Out Sharing Event

We celebrated creativity, individuality, and pride.

Outside the Box, People First, and Word Up North teamed up with Brave Words poet Chris Singleton in the run up to the Contains Strong Language Festival.

You joined us for an evening of powerful, personal work that had been developed by adults who identify as learning disabled and/or neurodiverse: we celebrated creativity, individuality, and pride.

BBC Contains Strong Language was a partnership between the BBC, Word Up North and Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture. It was supported by Arts Council England
