The week of Strangers and Canaries workshops creative writing workshops in schools across Norfolk was a real success. Workshop leaders Gervais Kouloungou, Molly Naylor, Sarah Bower and Asmeron had a great week with young people.
Here's a poem by one of the students written during the workshops:
What is Home?
What is home?
Home is where I live,
My house,
I don't have a house.
What is home?
My nationality,
The country on my passport,
I don't have a passport.
What is home?
The place where I feel safe,
A sanctuary,
I am not safe.
What is home?
My belongings,
The things I have grown up with,
I have no belongings.
What is home?
My family and friends,
The people who protect me,
I have no family, no friends.
Do I have a home?
by Lucy from Reepham High School
