How to get involved:
Aged 14-25? Submit a video of you performing a poem about freedom in any language – we’ll share our favourite submissions at our Freedom Across the Globe Showcase.

You can interpret ‘freedom’ in any way you like, but we’d love to hear the specificities of your context and perspective. What do you have to say on a global stage?
