Presented by champion slam poet, playwright and author, Joelle Taylor, this year's Laureate Education Project poetry competition, Mother Tongue Other Tongue Celebration Event will have a pop-up language event running alongside.
The competition itself has two strands:
Mother Tongue encourages children, who do not have English as a first language, or who speak a different language at home, to share a lullaby, poem or song from their Mother Tongue and to explain what it means to them.
Other Tongue encourages children learning another language to use that language creatively by writing a poem.
In the Celebration Event some of the talented young poets will perform their poems and Joelle will perform some of hers
