Introduction
The People's Poet Corner Workshop" (PPCW) was an incredible opportunity for aspiring poets to explore the world of poetry and creative expression. The event, led by our Co-Founder and Head of Writers, Aarya Patil, provided valuable insights into various types of poems and how to approach poetry.
The event spanned two exciting days, featuring a workshop and a poetry competition for aspiring poets. We partnered with youth organizations and awarded certificates to all participants. The winning poems were published on our Instagram account, so be sure to check them out!
Day-1
On the first day, an interactive session introduced different types of poems such as Haiku, sonnets, and lyrical poetry. Aarya and our Project Manager Bhavya then led a meme-based group poem activity, where participants contributed lines to create a wonderful poem on the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake feud.
We also had a fascinating discussion with the founder of Alexithymia Studios, our marketing partner, who shared their creative journey towards artistic expression. Alexithymia Studios is a youth-led, art-motivated organization that aims to explore unconventional aspects of life and art through different forms of media, inspiring change in the world.
Furthermore, we had the opportunity to learn about our NGO Partner Heart 4 Animals, a youth organization focused on stray animals' well-being. Their main goal is to challenge stereotypes about strays, raise awareness, and improve their living conditions, embodying the culture of creation and striving to create a world where all living beings can peacefully coexist.

Highlight of the Event
Kendrick Lamar vs Drake feud
Poem On the first day of the workshop, there was an interactive session that began with a detailed discussion on the Drake vs. Kendrick feud, which is considered one of the greatest in the hip-hop scene. The discussion included the context and background of the feud, as well as the participants' own opinions and understanding of the event.
