Welcome

Power in the Voice was a three year British Council project with volume set out to enable young people in Southern Africa and the UK to find their voices and express themselves under the guidance of international performance poets, rap artists and storytellers.

Over three years the project involved 3,300 school children and reached more than 25 million people.
