It’s not every day that an opportunity like this one arises, so I want to shout about it! I was recently invited to deliver two days of poetry workshops at Institut Montana Zugerberg – an International Boarding School that sits atop a mountain near Zug.

The staff and pupils couldn’t have been more welcoming, and it was a real highlight on my decade-long journey of being a creative practitioner to date. I worked with pupils ranging from 7 years old to 17 years old, and it culminated in an open recital on the Friday afternoon which featured poems in French, Portuguese, and Russian, as well as English.

A huge thanks to Paddy Gunn for setting the wheels in motion. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to return one day! For more information on my school visits, click here.
