UNISLAM
The UK National
University Poetry Slam & Summit
Each year, the UniSlam Festival brings together teams of emerging writers from universities across the UK and Ireland for 3 days of masterclasses, talks and performance events alongside the national varsity poetry slam tournament.
The festival is also home to the National Youth Poetry Showcase, which brings together England's top youth poetry collectives, and the Spoken Word Educators & Academic Researchers Network, founded at UniSlam 2020.
We believe poetry has the power to engage, empower and inspire. We run a number of workshop programmes and support opportunities throughout the year for writers and non-writers across the UK and Ireland.
