Next Generation Shakespearians: Beyond Set Texts

Next Generation Shakespearians is organised and delivered by our in-house team of specialists at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

This outreach event is designed to bring A Level students from different local schools and colleges together to encourage collaborative work and critical thinking around provocations about Shakespeare and his works.

The aim is to broaden student interest in the arts and creativity beyond the study of their set text, and to encourage them to share opinions about how they feel Shakespeare is perceived among young people now.

The involvement of undergraduate student mentors from local universities at each event, also offers your students opportunities to collaborate, share experiences, and get insights into pathways to further study and potential future careers.

By encouraging personal responses and peer-to-peer learning, students leave the event energised and brimming with confidence in their ability to speak about Shakespeare outside of a classroom environment.

The day runs from approximately 10.00 am to 3.30 pm.
