Preparations are already underway for SLAM 2009. The plan is to develop the SLAM into a national event when participation will be widened to all the nine regions in England, all of whom have already registered their interest to participate.

Next year’s SLAM event will be held in London. We intend to complete our recruitment of schools by September 2008.

If you would like to register interest in taking part, please email fahromalik@lynkreach.co.uk. The schedule for next year is expected to run on current timetable with some variation to take into account the needs of the other participating regions.

Schools confirmed for the 2009 London Teenage Poetry SLAM are:
Bishop Douglass Science College, Barnet
Hendon School, Barnet
Holy Family College of Technology, Waltham Forest
Kibdbrooke, Greemwich
Kingsford Community School, Newham
Lilian Baylis, Lambeth
Lister Community School, Newham
The Lammas School, Waltham Forest
