Step into Zelfspraak, a spoken word programme by Diversity Academy — where young voices turn language into a vessel for identity, reflection and social change.
Across more than seven sessions from October to November, this Dutch-language programme explores themes including feminism, anti-racism, sexual freedom, q***r emancipation, gender diversity and activism. Through spoken word, participants translate personal stories into performances that challenge norms and spark dialogue.
The sessions are guided by experienced spoken word artists and socially engaged makers, offering personal feedback, writing support and performance coaching in a supportive and safe space. Through creative exercises, spoken word techniques and performance practice, participants develop their own texts and work towards performing them in front of an audience.
Participation costs €125, but Diversity Academy offers support for those who cannot afford the fee.
