I found out this week that last year’s Young Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire Poet Laureate, our very own Matilda Houston-Brown, has taken another big step in her mission to inspire young people to get into poetry. Matilda was asked to take part in 'TEDx Stoke' last December at Stoke Sixth Form College and her talk video has just been accepted and loaded to the TEDx YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuijNnchP4c Huge congratulations to Matilda!
The Young Poet Laureate Scheme and competition is now open again, and I would encourage all young people in Staffordshire Moorlands to get involved before 28th February. To find out more please visit www.staffordshire.gov.uk.
