THE WRITING SQUAD
The Writing Squad and Durham University SLAM team lead by Kym Deyn entertained the crowds from Haymarket metro to Newcastle Central station and even proclaimed poems across the Tyne on the Nexus Ferry on their way to perform at the Word in South Shields. The Writing Squad provides workshops, 1-1 support and investment for young writers over a free two year programme for writers aged 16-21 who live, work or study in the North of England.
