Already more than 50 cities in France and 30 countries are mobilizing, Chicago as well…
and we hope you will join us too!
 
We Are the Institution
There is no need to wait for official recognition: we are the institution.
Let us mobilize to celebrate our art, make it visible, expand it, and let it resonate throughout the world!
Slam: A Global Movement
A human network connected by poetry
A public service of poetic expression
An open and participatory art form
Call to Mobilize
 
On September 26, 2026
And every year thereafter
Mobilize the media
Engage your partners and organizers
Bring together your poets and audiences
Let’s make this day something great
For a more poetic world
For a world where listening matters as much as speaking
For a world where every voice has its place
