Shakespeare Ambassadors

As part of this programme, we have been able to develop a team of children who have a particular passion for Shakespeare, known as our Shakespeare Ambassadors. It is the role of this group of children to be advocates of Shakespeare around school and they have made it their mission to ‘help everybody love Shakespeare’.

The ambassadors have had the opportunity to go over to the Swan Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon to complete training with the incredible education team there, learning about why Shakespeare’s work is important and what they can do to support their community in fostering a love (rather than hate!) of his works. They not only want to support their peers in loving Shakespeare, but also their parents and wider community. The team regularly get together to discuss and plan events that they can run to expose others to what makes his plays so fascinating. More importantly, to show people that looking at Shakespeare’s plays doesn’t have to just be about sitting and reading it! It’s all about doing it on your feet!
