House Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that every year, on 21 March, UNESCO celebrates World Poetry Day;
2) further notes that the main objective of this action is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard within their communities;
3) believes that this day is meant to support poetry, return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals, promote teaching poetry, restore a dialogue between poetry and the other arts such as theatre, dance, music, painting and so on;
4) further believes that poetry contributes to creative diversity by focusing on our use of words and our modes of perception and understanding of the world; and
5) encourages all to take an active part in celebrating World Poetry Day, at both local and national level.
Agreed to.
