The Poetry School organizes together with Winternachten a writers contest, involving two secondary schools from The Hague, the Johan de Witt College and the Terracollege. A special lesson program inspires hundreds of pupils to write poems about their vision of the future and their ideals. During a Poetry Slam session in the Theater aan het Spui, preceding the festival itself, they will present their poems. Tonight one of the winners will read his or her winning poem. Jury member and poet Ramona Maramis will introduce the young poet.
