Shakespeare: A Worldwide Classroom

All of the students with their teachers and principals from different schools

I watched the Shakespeare: A Worldwide Classroom (Love Matters) tonight. It was a pioneer program held between The British Council and some schools. This year, the British Council invited 4 primary schools and one high school to participate in this project. The students had been attending the workshops delivered from their Arts Partner, Theatre Noir before doing their show to the public.

Hong Kong is the only Asian place to have this pioneer program which allows primary school students to learn and perform  Shakespeare's literature in a contemporary way. I particularly liked the performance performed by Heep Yunn School (the only high school tonight) in which the story was beautifully crafted and the theme was clearly delivered.

I think it is so cool that primary school students have a chance to learn more about Shakespeare while I remember I first learnt about him was at my high school age. The sharing from some students tonight were very positive and encouraging too.

So, if your primary schools or high schools in HK are interested in sponsoring or participating in this program, you can contact your school or the British Council.
