About the event:
In this special poetry workshop, we invite young minds to discover the power of words to share stories of resilience and hope for Palestine. Through poems, storytelling, and creative activities, our special guests will learn about expressing empathy, unity, and compassion; how poetry can be a powerful way to stand in solidarity, share personal feelings, and create change. This workshop is a warm, supportive space for kids to celebrate Palestinian culture, learn about perseverance, and turn their thoughts into meaningful poetry.
About Resham Collective:
Resham Collective is a name rooted in rich cultural symbolism. “Resham” derived from the sanskrit word “resam” meaning silk, evokes softness, elegance, and beauty yet it is one of the strongest natural fibres. Resham, like poetry and storytelling, feels elegant and beautiful to the ear, mind and heart, but beneath such beauty lies immense strength in its message. This duality of softness and power is at the heart of Resham Collective.
At Resham Collective, we aim to weave together diverse voices and stories much like the threads of silk, creating a community that is both beautiful and strong. Our collective represents not only a community of people but also diverse forms of creative expression from poetry nights, workshops, book clubs and exhibitions.
Together we create a space where elegance meets resilience, and where every story, like a thread of silk weaves strength to the fabric of our collective voice.
