POETRY FOR PEACE WORKSHOP
Words can be weapons, but they can also be bridges. This 2-hour Poetry for Peace Workshop brings together young writers from across Ghana and Africa to explore how poetry can challenge injustice, heal communities, and imagine more peaceful futures. You’ll learn simple tools for turning your feelings into powerful poems, read and discuss work about peace and conflict, and write your own piece with live guidance in a safe, supportive space.

Join youth speakers, story circles, and writing workshops focused on African climate futures, and discover how your own experiences can become powerful narratives for justice.
