Poetry is a universal language that transcends cultures, traditions, and generations, speaking directly to the soul. At Redemption International School, we recognize the profound impact poetry has on our students, fostering creativity, self-expression, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of words. As we join the world in celebrating World Poetry Day on March 21st, we embrace the power of poetry to inspire, educate, and unite.
The Significance of World Poetry Day
World Poetry Day was established by UNESCO in 1999 to promote linguistic diversity and encourage the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry. Practiced throughout history in every culture and on every continent, poetry speaks to our common humanity and shared values. It transforms the simplest of words into powerful expressions that spark dialogue, reflection, and peace.
How We Celebrate at Redemption International School
At Redemption International School, we integrate poetry into our learning experience in meaningful and engaging ways. This year, we are organizing various activities to honor this special day:
- Poetry Read-Aloud Sessions – Students and teachers will share their favorite poems, exploring themes of faith, hope, and unity.
- Original Poetry Showcase – Our students will compose and recite their own poems, expressing their thoughts, dreams, and emotions.
- Poetry and Art Fusion – A creative session where students illustrate poems through drawings, paintings, and digital art.
- Multilingual Poetry Reading – Emphasizing our commitment to linguistic diversity, students will recite poems in various languages, including German, French, Kiswahili, and Spanish.
- Poetry and Music – The Music Academy will collaborate with the Language Academy to turn poetry into melodious compositions, showcasing the harmony between words and rhythm.
- Inspirational Poetry Corner – A dedicated space where students can read and reflect on famous poems that have shaped history and inspired change.
Why Poetry Matters in Education
At our school, poetry is more than just an art form—it is a tool for learning and personal growth. Poetry nurtures creativity, enhances language skills, and encourages critical thinking. It allows students to explore their emotions and develop empathy for others. Through poetry, we empower students to find their voice and express themselves with confidence.
Join Us in Celebrating World Poetry Day
We invite parents, students, and the entire school community to take part in our poetry celebrations. Whether it’s by reading a poem, writing one, or simply reflecting on the power of words, let us come together to honor poetry’s timeless influence on our lives.
As we celebrate World Poetry Day, we are reminded that words have the power to heal, inspire, and bring people closer together. At Redemption International School, we continue to foster a love for poetry, encouraging our students to be voices of hope, creativity, and change in the world.
Happy World Poetry Day!
