For the Shakespeare Worldwide Classroom, young people will be encouraged to engage with Shakespeare’s language through a practical exploration of the plays and through experiencing live performance. They also find out about Shakespeare’s relationship with the modern world by researching his connections with role models from their own culture. The project also encourages young people to share their knowledge and passion with other individuals or groups in a younger age range. Hong Kong is the only Asian city where this pilot project will run.

The project entails four parts:

1.Taking Part - participating practically with Shakespeare

2.Being the Audience – experiencing Shakespeare live

3.Arts Heroes and Heroines – find the Shakespeare connection

4.Arts Apprenticeship – inspiring others with Shakespeare
