Mother Tongue Other Tongue Competition: Anthology Launch Event

Friday 21st November at 12pm. Free.  Open to all. No booking required. University of Leeds campus, Language Zone.

Mother Tongue Other Tongue is a multi-lingual poetry project, created as a Laureate Education Project by Professor Carol Ann Duffy DBE (UK Poet Laureate 2009-2019) to celebrate cultural diversity and the many languages spoken in schools across the UK. This initiative originally began running in the North West, coordinated by the Manchester Poetry Library at Manchester Met University.

After a successful launch of the competition in Leeds as part of Leeds Languages Week 2024, we are delighted to announce that we will be running the competition again this year, giving even more students the opportunity to celebrate languages and share their creativity through poetry.

The MTOT competition exhibition will launch at the Language Zone at the University of Leeds on the 21st of November at 12pm.  Participants are welcome to visit the exhibition in the Parkinson Building, Language Zone.

This event will announce winning entries.
