This is achieved by:
1) Creating a safe space where young people are empowered to:
a. Recognise the power of their own voice and story
b. Become socially aware
c. Become socially and poetically active citizens
2) Creating a platform for justice-focussed social dialogue through the running and supporting of poetic events whose aim is to better society.
Who We Are
The Centre for Poetics and Justice (CPJ) is a community organisation based in Melbourne, Australia, dedicated to the integration of poetics and social transformation. Those involved are all practitioners in the poetic art form who have a desire to see our world become a better place. The purpose of CPJ is to create new access points into literary education and encourage social awareness for young people through spoken word poetry workshops and events.
