SlamJam is a spoken word programme that encourages young people to write – and then perform – their own performance poetry.
The SlamJam final originally programmed to be at the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre, (LPAC) Lincoln University LN6 7TS was instead held digitally via Zoom and Face book.
Available to all secondary schools and Youth Groups, SlamJam is an engaging and challenging opportunity for young people to develop their writing and performance skills, build their self-confidence, and – ultimately – have a real impact on an audience.
