There are many ways to get involved in Shake the Dust, depending on who you are and what you want to do, we have created exciting opportunities for young people, poets, teachers and educators right across the country.
Blog for Shake the Dust
If you’re interested in writing a blog post for us or getting involved on the site, please email blog@shakethedust.co.uk.
We’re particularly interested in 150-200 word posts about the following:
Poetry Changed Me - has Poetry changed you? This is your chance to explain how.
Poetry Heroes - who has inspired you in the world of Poetry? Do you have any Poetry Superheroes? We would love to hear your thoughts. Videos can be included in the post.
Old School - this is where young and old get the chance to be open about which teachers, youth workers, educators and role models have influenced and inspired them and why – you could even get that inspirational person to write a blog post too.
These are just some of the ideas you can blog about but we welcome all ideas and creativity so get those thinking caps on and bring your personality into the mix, Shake the Dust off!
Shake the Dust Competitions coming soon…
We will also be running a music competition for young talented musicians to have their track played on the official Shake the Dust soundtrack at the Regional Finals.
And if you’re interested in these projects or would love to use your skills and talent for Shake the Dust but don’t know how it will fit in – we’d still love to hear from you! Click here to send us a message.
