Poetry and music have the power to express emotions, create cohesion, and suggest an identity. They have great educative power and are expressive mediums that have highly therapeutic effects on the mind.

In this workshop, children will be guided to finish a personification poem. Poets humanise objects, animals, deities, and states of being by giving human characteristics such as love, joy, anger, sadness to animals and objects.  Personification is one of many figures of speech that allows poet to build connections between elements of the world.

Upon completion of the workshop, students will be able to:

1. understand the basics of poetry

2. demonstrate the ability to be creative and think out of the box

3. finish a poetry art that will be displayed at the Carrickfergus Museum in Dec 2023

The Voices of Children is a poetry and music composition project that encourages the appreciation of words and music among children.
