YOUNG wordsmiths across Inverclyde are being encouraged to get involved in an innovate online project.

The organisers of the Scottish Youth Poetry Slam have created a digital writing group which will run throughout 2021.

The last slam took place at the Beacon in 2018 and will return again in 2022.

Aimed at writers aged 14 and above, the group will offer workshops, presentations and activities completely free of charge.

The first session, hosted by writer and spoken word artist Cat Hepburn, is scheduled for 16 December from 6pm.

To get involved contact Lauren Gilmour by emailing lauren@confab.org.uk or calling 07803 550 430.
