The Newham Word Festival will be an inspirational cross-borough celebration of the spoken and written word; including poetry, song, literature, plays, essays and journalism. The two week, fully inclusive programme will include writing, reading and publishing groups, workshops, performances, storytelling, debates, and a mass borough 'read-athon', bringing residents of all ages together to share the power of the word. Newham's Community Neighbourhood Centres will be integral to the Festival, the intention being that it will bring interaction with the spoken and written word closer to many more and different individuals and groups in the borough, particularly those who are not English literate or whose first language is not English.
