Slam-Poetry
Poetry for the Pandemic - Writing Workshop
Slam poetry is an exciting artform that brings the classic expressiveness of poetry into a less-structured and more accessible package!
For ECCMID, we are happy to be hosting 4 slam poetry workshops, one on each day of ECCMID, where participants can meet up in the company of a slam poet to express their life experiences during the COVID-19 Pandemic through the medium of slam poetry.
It could be about what has been happening in your hospital, at home or even online – whatever it is, we want to hear you slam about it!
A valid ECCMID registration is required in order to register for the workshop.
