Description
Project is an answer to undervalued role of art in communication between generations and nations and also to the weakening of cultural competences of both young people and their teachers. The title of the project suggests that it is possible to interpret Shakespeare's texts and show that they are still up-to-date. Nearly 90 project activities will consist of trainings for teachers in 2 fields: art (film, theatre, drama) and history of the region. The participants will learn how to draw on their cultural heritage and to exploit their history creatively. Additional activities consist of international trainings for teachers and pupils, review of youth performances, competitions and exhibition of youth works, study visits to Oslo and Bergen, international expert conference on Shakespeare's presence in art, Polish-Norwegian "Shakespeare Camp" resulting in a final bi-lingual performance. As a result the project will help to explore the heritage in practice, enable inter-generational and inter-cultural communication, strengthen relations between Poland and Norway in education and culture and provide teachers with tools to work effectively with young people.
