Tunis – A year ago, in the spring of 2014, Aspire to Inspire Tunisia’s event “Unleash the Poet Within You” brought together passionate students, inspiring poets and proud teachers. Gathered with the unifying love for poetry, the vital need for self-expression and the unbridled urge to aspire to inspire, they rendered a seemingly common April day into an exceptional day of inner and outer journeys, new acquaintances and new memories.
A year ago, Aspire to Inspire Tunisia was born. However, this novice initiative was able to inspire souls, transcend differences and prejudices, alter negatives attitudes and unleash latent talents with the simple yet rare act of expressing one’s self. (Read Aspire to Inspire’s first edition).
For a wider and more durable positive impact, Aspire to Inspire Tunisia gets back into action this year with a second edition of the event “Unleash The Poet Within You.”
Indeed, it holds the same belief that allowing the hidden self to relish in an outer manifestation through Performative Poetry is a therapy to the participant and an inspiration to the spectator. This year, it seeks to anchor that belief even deeper in the minds of Tunisian youth, contributing as such, to build a confident generation that dares to speak its mind and teach fellow humans that freedom of self-expression is a right.
Nurturing this faith, Aspire to Inspire Tunisia aligns itself with the international tendencies to “Be o ne’s self.” Activists, influential figures, coaches, famous bloggers, authors, even movie-makers, cartoons and animes’ characters all strive to stimulate young people to “be who they really are, to follow their hearts and be themselves.
The issue might appear romanticized. However, forming a strong base of powerful youth that is willing to voice its concerns and desires is of a paramount importance. A generation that is brave enough to speak to the world about its perplexities and aspirations is a generation that acknowledges its problems. One that is ready to move forward, for awareness is half the solution.
Determined to take part in this mission through the Art of Spoken-poetry, Aspire to Inspire Tunisia carries on the spirit of “Unleash The Poet Within You” this year, bringing new ideas for a wider reach and greater inspiration. Indeed, in order to tell more about its story and its inspiring opportunities, it announced the possibility for old performers to become ambassadors; these will be able to be representatives of the initiative in their own universities and high schools.
Aspire to Inspire Tunisia paves the way, in this manner, for a larger number of people to participate, work and feel like home within the initiative.
“Unleash The Poet Within You” will take place on the 4th of April 2015, in the amphitheater of The Ecole Normale Supérieure de Tunis, hoping to welcome and host those who seek to inspire the world with their stories, their worries and their dreams.
