Poésíæ is an international competition for language learners from 7 to 14. Its creator, Jérȏme Nogues, writes :
After an exciting year, covering 3 languages, 40 schools dotted all over the world, 5 amazing adjudicators, days of recordings and tons of talented performers, Poésíæ, the Global Language Recitation competition for the 7 to 14 years old, is back in 2022, starting in January.
It has expanded its language palette with the addition of Italian, English as a Foreign Language and the mighty Welsh to last year’s list if French, German and Spanish. The rules are a bit more flexible as the poems picked are not imposed, leaving more freedom to teachers who will be enthusing the pupils in their schools.
Running alongside this competition, this year I have added Poésíaert, an art competition. It is an opportunity to use Languages for a cross-curricular activity but also for the less speaking-confident, or for multi-talented, pupils to find a different medium to express their understanding of the poem(s) chosen. The take-up after just a few days has been incredible. Fingers crossed for a spectacular 2022 vintage!
