Funded by Bristol Legacy Commission, Bristol City Council, Bristol’s City Museum & Art Gallery and Building the Bridge, project managed by Glenn Carmichael of Poetry Slam, 'Proud 2 B a Poet' was a fast and fabulous InterSchool Slam with 5 Bristol secondary schools performing poems on the theme of 'IDENTITY'.
The workshops and rehearsals that took place over 3 weeks, and the young poets shared a stage with guest poet Mohammed Yahya, who started the proceedings with some inspirational spoken word.
The winning team were: 'Young Aspiring' from Orchard School Runner-up team St Bede's Catholic College's 'Just A Number' . The winning school: Orchard School (formerly Monks Park).
Overall an exhilarating and moving event, where some of Bristol's finest young poets spoke out, voiced their sense of identity and told the world who they really are.
