In a world that often feels divided, let’s come together to explore the power of connection and community through poetry. Steps to Togetherness has partnered with SOAS to invite you to a relaxed and inspiring poetry night.

The event is all about fostering togetherness, using poetry to understand our shared experiences . Whether you’re a seasoned poet, a first-time writer, or just want to listen - there’s nothing like a good poem to connect us to one another - including people from very different walks of life.

Expect food, a short introduction, creative poetry workshop, open-mic performances and meaningful conversations. Bring a poem you’ve written or resonate with; we'll create a safe, inclusive space where absolutely everyone can share their voice.

To make the evening even more special, we’ll be serving food and drinks at the start of the event, especially mindful of those observing Ramadan. Join us as we break our fast together before moving into a chilled-out celebration of humanity, unity, and hope.

This poetry night is part of 32 Steps to Togetherness, a Civil Society Consulting initiative aimed at combating isolation and division by building stronger connections within and across communities.

Let’s turn words into bridges and stories into solidarity. Join us for a night that promises inspiration, connection, and creativity!
