TESTIMONIAL:
"Rory's workshops gave students the opportunity to be creative, tackle meaningful issues and challenge themselves through the medium of spoken poetry. The process Rory lead them through not only improved their English levels, but developed confidence and allowed students to express themselves in ways that many of them had never done before. The results of these workshops were performed in front of the whole school and they were nothing short of amazing! Not only did they have a positive impact on the students taking part, but their performances truly inspired all who watched them."

The first poem from 15 year old Korn, one of the Spoken Word Storytelling ECA students from the class of 2019 at Garden International School, Bangkok .
Korn's performance of his poem at our closing performance was moving and powerful, receiving thunderous applause from the student audience, and a few damp eyes from more than one of the faculty.
