Join the Manchester Poetry Library team and special guests, at Manchester Metropolitan University, to launch the 10th Anniversary of ‘Mother Tongue Other Tongue’, our annual competition for 8-18 year olds that invites pupils to share poems or songs from their Mother Tongue or from a language they are learning.

With input from poets and teachers who have supported this Queen’s Anniversary Prize-winning project, an evening of lively discussion about poetry, multi-lingualism and teaching will send you away inspired with practical ideas and resources to take back into your classrooms.
