For the second year in a row, Street Poets was invited to participate in the annual international Youth Initiative Forum in Jarna, Sweden. SP Teaching Artists Art Quiros and Frank Escamilla, along with youth leader Jaynese “Ladybug” Poole, were asked to share their creative gifts with the conference participants, hosting an open-mic event as well writing and dance workshops. “It was my first time ever visiting some place outside of the United States,” Jaynese exclaimed. “What an amazing, mind-blowing experience. I felt like a woodland fairy out there.”
