le Troc´afe was filled to the limits with people that wanted to take part in exploring Europe, languages and the power of words at the EuroGlobe Poetry Slam. 10 slamers shared their specially composed poetry - one free composition and one to the topic of the evening "Europe - I have a Dream". Finally, after 2 rounds, Elie was crowned winner by the audience that judged each of the slamer by their applause. The spirit was also high when Lauréline Kuntz, France number one slammer, shared her poetry as well as when Prada, the EuroGlobe Slovenia Poetry Slam winner, made a guest number. The winner, Elie, will travel to Prague to join the EuroGlobe Poetry Slam there in spring during the Czech EU presidency.
The evening was a joint event between EuroGlobe and Oaz'Art (www.oazart.com)
