Held every year on 21 March, World Poetry Day celebrates one of humanity’s most treasured forms of cultural and linguistic expression and identity. Practiced throughout history – in every culture and on every continent.
Poetry reaffirms our common humanity by revealing to us that individuals, everywhere in the world, share the same questions and feelings. Poetry is the mainstay of oral tradition and, over centuries, can communicate the innermost values of diverse cultures.
In celebrating World Poetry Day, March 21, UNESCO recognizes the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind.
A decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during UNESCO’s 30th session held in Paris in 1999.
One of the main objectives of the Day is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard within their communities.
The observance of World Poetry Day is also meant to encourage a return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals, to promote the teaching of poetry, to restore a dialogue between poetry and the other arts such as theatre, dance, music and painting, and to support small publishers and create an attractive image of poetry in the media, so that the art of poetry will no longer be considered an outdated form of art, but one which enables society as a whole to regain and assert its identity.
“Arranged in words, coloured with images, struck with the right meter, poetry has a power that has no match. This is the power to shake us from everyday life and the power to remind us of the beauty that surrounds us and of the resilience of the human spirit.” — Audrey Azoulay, Director-General, on the occasion of 2020 World Poetry Day
Finishing the week with a success story;
Some of our Year 10 boys have been involved in the Premier League Inspires Programme (along with other students) and have been working with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation on various topics. Part of the programme was to be involved in planning a social action project; “We are planning to create a centre for the elderly so they are able to interact and increase their physical and mental wellbeing”
They have recently found out via the video below from the Premier League that they were the winners! Our boys, who call their team ‘The Veterans’ will now represent Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League event.
So a massive congratulations to:
Gianni Dipo, Jahmar Edwards, Matthew Ellis, Hashim Baker, Vlad Privu & Darius Engman
