As the world's first door-to-door poet, Rowan has learned more about his neighbors and his own prejudice by knocking on people's doors.

The goal of hosting TEDxYouth@BSN is to spread ideas and spark conversation by providing a platform where they can be shared. This event is first and foremost for the student body and (global) community of the British School in the Netherlands. Rowan is a performance poet from Newcastle. As the world's first door-to-door poet, he travels throughout England knocking on people's doors to break down barriers and learn more about his fellow neighbours. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
