Join a welcoming poetry translation workshop celebrating culture, language and connection – no experience or second language needed to take part.

Led by poet Shamim Azad and editor-translator Mike Raggett of the British Bilingual Poetry Collective (BBPC), this workshop invites participants of all ages and backgrounds to explore poetry across languages. Using accessible English, the session focuses on collective translation as a way to share perspectives, celebrate cultural heritage and foster community. No knowledge of other languages is required – just a curiosity about poetry, language and connection.

Based in East London, BBPC’s work champions multilingual expression as a path to wellbeing, creativity and community building. They use poetry as a tool to expand on intergenerational connections and celebrate the multicultural heritage of the London-wide community. Their work centres on performance, writing, translation and publication.
