As part of Cork World Book Fest, our Radical Institute at Studios of Sanctuary Resident, Neo Gilson and DJ Stevie G will host this 90-minute workshop that will give young people aged 13-17 years an insight into both of their own experiences in poetry and song. They aim to inspire participants to explore how to use their own unique voices to express themselves through poetry and song.
