Poetry's Peptalkshow (7+)

"My neighbour girl is in love with me, but I'm not in love with her. What should I do?" 
"I want a pet so badly, how do I convince my parents?" 
"How do I tell my best friend that I lied to him?"

Your childhood the best time of your life? Even as a child, your head is often full of questions and, like adults, you regularly run into things you don't know what to do with. Poetry International offers advice! Together with Studio Kleine Lettertjes, the festival presents an interactive poetry program for children on Sunday morning, June 11. In Poetry's Peptalkshow, children ages 7 and up can ask poets all their questions. If you don't know how to tackle something, even the youngest among us will find poets who can show you the way. Sara de Monchy offers a listening ear and engages in conversation with children. Listen to comforting and imaginative poetry or ask a question of your own to the panel of poets including Edward van de Vendel.  

After the talk show, children can put on Silent Poetry headphones, listen to recorded poems and let their imaginations run wild.
