Welcome to the UCL East Gaia Schools Poetry Sharing!

Come join us for an hour filled with creativity and expression at UCL East - Marshgate. This event is a fantastic opportunity for students from two east London schools to share their poems, showcase their talents, and connect with fellow poetry enthusiasts. With support from acclaimed poet Anneliese Amoah, the students have written poems inspired by UCL's innovative climate research and Luke Jerram's Gaia art instillation. So mark your calendars and get ready to be inspired by the power of words!

Gaia is a permanent artwork in the atrium at UCL East Marshgate and the inspiration for a public programme of events centered around our place on this planet, and our collective need to protect it. Find out more about Gaia at UCL East.
