Anthology of The Aware

With this book, the award winning afro-scandinavian poets S.T.I.C.S, are inviting students to take a deep dive into unexplored corners of their own minds. One truly witness how the authors master both the art of poetry and academia by enabling the readers to deconstruct each layer of prose while cultivating the development of 21st century skills through carefully designed tasks. The book's interactive elements add to the immersive learning environment, with the possibility to hear the poems performed by the authors, along with an invitation to explore the creative process behind each poem. The authors' fusion of academic backgrounds within pedagogy of learning, linguistics, philosophy, religion, mediation of arts and communication shines through their approach to how they tailor journeys of growth for both the motivated and unmotivated students, while utilizing the methodology of entrepreneurial intentionality. Apart from having the students growth in mind, S.T.I.C.S have also sought to make the material as easy as possible for teachers to use with a plug & play solution including dedicated teachers guides as well as reflections on learning outcomes

S.T.I.C.S. or Sound That Inspires Conscious Souls, have managed to inspire and provoke their audience with lyricism and music that challenges the borders of soul, hip-hop and spoken word. Since 2004 they have been performing around the world from Beijing to New York, collaborating with various scholars, artists and NGO's including Dr. A. Dankic, Revolution Poetry, Amir Sulaiman. After years of intense work, the two-time winners of the National Swedish Poetry Slam packed their bags and turned their attention towards New York & Washington D.C. to share their spoken word anthology. The project, entitled Weapon of Choice (W.O.C.), also features guest commentary from artists such as Anthony Hamilton, Brother Ali and Seinabo Sey. W.O.C is a deeply immersive reflection of the influences that shape our identity narrated through soundscapes, storytelling, music and poetry in an English spoken word anthology.
