Slamming It!


Slamming It! is a national programme of writing, performance and spoken word workshops and live events for young people 10-18yrs. At the heart of Slamming It! is the Scottish Youth Poetry Slam where young people from across the country compete for the title of Scottish Youth Slam Master. We are currently developing the programme for 2025.
