I Come From... Toolkit

The ‘I Come From’ Poetry Series is a trilogy of anthologies exploring the themes of ‘Race & Immigration’, ‘Gender & Sexuality’ and ‘Mental Health’. The stimulus of the project is to provide community groups and educational institutes with a toolkit of content that encourages conversations within the wider community and attempts to break down misconceptions and breakdown barriers of the subjects we focused on.

Please, use and share the videos and the downloadable PDFs of the Anthologies on our brand new website. If you would like some physical copies, head to our shop

Content Warning: 
The anthologies explore the topics of Gender & Sexuality, Race & Immigration and Mental Health. In all three series of PDFs and Videos there may be themes and language that some readers might find triggering or offensive. Discretion is advised when using the toolkit with your participants.
