It was an honour to be invited to speak and take part in a very important event that took place in Dartford on International Mother Language Day with Generation Rights

I was smiling with joy to see all of us come together, celebrating each other. I got the chance to meet the Mayor of Dartford and Mayor of Bexley a wonderful moment supporting our community together. Thank you for your time and support.

A shared hope. A shared celebration.

Below is a poem written by all those who attended our online poetry workshop in support of this event. This poem was performed at the event. Poetry is a fantastic tool for self - expression across all languages. I got to witness beautiful poetry in different languages and be apart of creating our shared poem. Thank you.

I speak, I share, I smile, I am there
without fear
Do I dare?
I eat , I drink ,i talk, and i share
a place we build together
a place that is held forever
with care
I cry, I love, I sigh, I hope
Every day, I merely cope
is there anything to grope ?
I keep, I throw, I grasp, I blow
Won't take an answer of a no
Holding hands, can't go low
I speak, I share, I smile, I am there.

Today we had the privilege of attending a truly meaningful event in honour of International Mother Language Day. A celebration of linguistic diversity, cultural richness, and the power of language to connect us all.

This special day reminds us that our mother tongues are not just ways of speaking. They are the heart of our identity, our culture, and our shared humanity. Languages carry stories, traditions, wisdom and perspectives that cannot be replaced. They shape how we think, how we belong, and how we relate to the world around us.

📌 Want to learn more about why days like today matter and how we can stand together for the rights of speakers of all languages?

Let’s keep celebrating our languages and the people who speak them every day.

As our Writing for Wellbeing programme continues to grow, we’re clarifying that these current sessions are to be provided for adults aged 18+.

We’re so grateful for the warmth and interest shown from the younger people. Because of this interest, we’re now exploring the possibility of a future family-shaped or intergenerational Writing for Wellbeing project.

If this is something you would be interested in, please email us or send us a message to help us gauge interest.

Thank you for your understanding and for being a part of this growing creative community.
