14 JUNE 2017 - Refugee Week Workshop

Red Room Poetry collaborated with Illawarra Multicultural Services to celebrate REFUGEE WEEK 2017. We delivered Poetry Object workshops to 120 students of Refugee backgrounds from Wollongong West Primary School.

Yuin poet and emerging children's author Kirli Saunders led the students to create poems that told the stories of their most treasured objects through Red Room's Poetry Object competition.

Poems from the day are to be published in the student's first languages and English on the Red Room Poetry website.
You can also see them exhibited at SCARF's Refugee Week event.
