This will enable them to effectively impart knowledge about different poetic styles and traditions to their students. Pedagogical Strategies: The workshop will equip teachers with innovative methods to teach poetry in engaging and accessible ways. This includes integrating performance elements into the classroom, which helps in bringing poetry to life and making it more relatable to students.

This is designed to help students not only understand but also effectively communicate the emotional and thematic depths of poetry.

Teachers will learn how to organize and direct performances, creating opportunities for students to showcase their work, thereby enhancing their confidence and public speaking skills.
