SJT OutReach activity is a little different at the moment due to the Coronavirus outbreak, but it is still happening - scroll down the page to see what we're up to!

The OutReach department works with, in and for the local community, encouraging people to engage with the work of the SJT through projects, courses, classes and work experience. It is committed to offering everyone the opportunity to get involved and participate in one of our creative projects and to develop new skills, make friends and have fun along the way.


Summer School Poetry films
As part of our 2020 Online Summer School, award winning filmmaker Brett Chapman created three episodes of Poets and their Poems - Nadia Emam chats to nine leading poets as they talk about their process and artistic journey as well as sharing some of their wonderful work. Watch them here!
