About 100TPC

Founded in 2010 by Michael Rothenberg and Terri Carrion, 100 Thousand Poets (and Musicians) for Change is a grassroots educational organization that promotes the arts, particularly poetry, literature, and music. Their activity centers on an annual worldwide poetry event –the largest of its kind– that takes place every September in cities across the globe.

These events are without a set structure, providing each individual organizer the freedom to present an event that  is  original and perhaps unique to their area of the country or world. The only requirement is that the event content focus on the theme of change, a theme  that may encompass many topics that are left  to the discretion of  the individual organizer  or poet. 

At its launch in 2011, 700 events were successfully organized  in 550 cities, garnering enough attention to be noticed by Stanford University, which has offered to archive all documentation, audiovisual and otherwise, that may be posted on the 100TPC website.

We are Nas with Notepads. We love words.

We love to write, we love to read and we love to hear everybody’s words.

Our Mission & Vision

We started Nas with Notepads as a group that aims to promote quality poetry in Khartoum. Our main purpose is to attract genuine and outstanding poets and a loving and truly interested audience for evenings of quality poetry and spoken word performances in an intimate and cozy atmosphere.

Our overall mission is to promote, using the creative process, a platform through which youth can both make a substantial impact on Sudanese culture and project an image of Sudan that has yet to be seen.
