We are delighted to be working with the Royal Shakespeare Company to offer Shakespeare Challenge Bronze Arts Award, an exciting programme for those interested in exploring Shakespeare through their Bronze Arts Award.  The RSC Shakespeare Challenge is generously supported by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

WSF: Shakespeare Challenge

In the lead up to and during London 2012 a special, time-limited programme created for the World Shakespeare Festival [produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company for London 2012 Festival] will be available to Arts Award centres.  The World Shakespeare Festival Shakespeare Challenge programme is the same in structure as the Shakespeare Challenge, but builds on the existing challenge by encouraging students to explore how Shakespeare’s plays are re-imagined and interpreted by cultures and countries around the world.  More 

 

Stand up for Shakespeare

The Shakespeare Challenge recognises the approach to teaching and learning Shakespeare as celebrated through the RSC’s Stand up for Shakespeare Manifesto. The aims of this campaign were to encourage more young people to Do Shakespeare on their feet, See Shakespeare Live and to Start Shakespeare Earlier.
