Have you ever wondered what it feels like to live someone else’s life?
This year, the Never Such Innocence poetry competition invites young people aged 9-18 to share powerful stories through poetry. The 2025/26 theme is "In Someone Else’s Shoes" — a chance to explore how others might feel during war, conflict, or difficult situations.
You could write about a refugee, a parent waiting for news, a soldier, a nurse, a protester, or someone affected by conflict in your own community. Whoever you choose — walk in their shoes and help the world see from their perspective.
