The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon

Sunday 1 – Saturday 7 August 2010

A week of Shakespeare plays, lectures, discussions and workshops devised and delivered by Shakespearian experts in Stratford-upon-Avon.

‘Shakespeare in Stratford’ is offered in association with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, the charity which cares for the world’s Shakespeare heritage and promotes the knowledge and appreciation of the Bard’s work.

The programme gives those studying Shakespeare at university/post-graduate level around the world the opportunity to immerse themselves in a week of Shakespeare’s plays, lectures, discussions, and workshops devised and delivered by Shakespearean experts in Stratford-upon-Avon. The emphasis is on enjoying Shakespeare’s work, as well as engaging with it from academic and theatrical points of view.

Drawing on the unique resources available at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, the week-long course provides the participants with insights into the life of Shakespeare, having an opportunity to explore the places where he lived and worked. The course offers an academic programme of pre-performance lectures and post-performance discussions led by scholars of the Shakespeare.

The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and the Shakespeare Institute are committed to the provi-sion of the highest quality educational experience for those who study and appreciate Shakespeare’s works - as text or performance – worldwide.

SHAKESPEARE STUDY COURSEIN STRATFORD- UPON-AVON

Please submit applications to Gillian Parker, Head of Cultural Programmes on gilp@esu.org or call +44 (0)20 7529 1564for more information

The courses are augmented by classes with members of the RSC (including actors and voice coaches) and so bring Shakespeare as ‘Text’ and Shakespeare as ‘Theatre’ into dialogue.

Delegates are able to explore deeper interpretations of Shakespeare, attend performances such as Julius Caesar, The Winter’s Tale, As You Like It and TheComedy of Errors, discuss theatre with the actors and enjoy workshops that approach Shakespeare in a dynamic and exciting way.

Applicants should be studying Literature/ Shakespeare at degree or post-graduate level or have an otherwise demonstrable interest (i.e. theatre practitioner). Applicants must also have an excellent standard of English.

Please note that the completion of the application form does not automatically mean you will be awarded a scholarship place for this course. Final selection will be made at the discretion of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and The English-Speaking Union.

Up to two delegate places can be allocated per country, but only one will be funded by the ESU. For additional places, a fee of £1,000 per person applies.

Please do not apply if you are unable to commit to the full term of the course

The course confirmed my belief that Shakespeare’s literary heritage is so rich and multi-faceted that any person of any age can find inspiration, great emotion and sophisticated ideas in his works. I learnt the importance of finding the best ways to engage with Shakespeare’s work and the Shakespeare Course was really of great help here since we discussed and practiced a whole range of activities which can make Shakespeare studies more engaging, diverse, and brain-teasing for students. I especially enjoyed the idea of debate classes which is a good way to make everybody participate in discussion and to stimulate students to share their feelings, appreciations and thoughts about Shakespeare’s characters and plots. I think the sonnet class was the one that showed us how to bring Shakespeare closer and helped me develop a more personal attitude to his works. Now I feel absolutely inspired and enthusiastic about studying Shakespeare and I’m sure the Stratford experience has made me even more perceptive and appreciative of Shakespeare’s heritage. My learning will now acquire a personal touch because of the wonderful reminiscences about Stratford and all the nice people I met there. It was really great to meet people from different parts of the world and make friends with them and be a member of a united and enthusiastic group.

Shakespeare’s Globe, London

Sunday 8 – Saturday 14 August 2010

This one-week course at Shakespeare’s Globe will provide teachers equivalent to British secondary school (ages 11-18) level with insights into the crafts involved in creating a production for the Globe Theatre.

Teachers of English and Theatre for whom English is a second language will work with Globe Education staff to explore practical approaches to teaching Shakespeare creatively in the classroom.

Delegates will attend three of the Globe’s theatrical productions. They will meet and work with members of the Globe Theatre Company to explore how productions at the Globe are conceived and mounted. Delegates will also have the opportunity to discuss the place of Shakespeare in their respective countries and classrooms.

Teachers attending this course should have experience of teaching Shakespeare in the classroom and an interest in participating in a course with the following aims:

• To consider how the discoveries being made at the Globe Theatre can inform our understanding of Shakespeare in performance and our approaches to teaching Shakespeare in the classroom.

GLObE EDUCATION CULTURAL SEMINAR: SHAKESPEARE AND HIS STAGE

Please submit applications to Gillian Parker, Head of Cultural Programmes on gilp@esu.org or call +44 (0)20 7529 1564for more information

• To explore the relationship the Globe architecture creates between actor and audience and to consider how it can inform our understanding of the relationship between teacher and student within the classroom.

• To consider how Shakespeare is translated both in terms of performance and classroom curricula across the world.

Teachers, perhaps better than anyone, know the challenges involved in bringing texts to life. For 20 years, Globe Education has worked with teachers to develop new and exciting ways of exploring Shakespeare’s works. We seek to create active, practical approaches to Shakespeare that will inspire, enhance and develop classroom practice - and bring Shakespeare’s words to life through ‘the soul of lively action’.

Applicants should be teachers of English or Theatre, who have experience of teaching Shakespeare (equivalent to British secondary school level).

Only non-native English speakers are eligible for this course.

Please note that the completion of an application form does not automatically mean you will be awarded a scholarship place for this seminar. Final selection will be made at the discretion of Globe Education and the ESU at Dartmouth House.

Please do not apply if you are unable to commit to the full term of the course

The aim of the Seminar was to give an idea of the theatrical world in which Shakespeare lived. The most interesting aspect was the fact that we were in contact with artists and practitioners of the very first rank, highly skilled and enthusiasts of Shakespeare and of all that the Globe represents. They shared with us their knowledge and experience with a remarkable attention to detail. I was really impressed with the whole project, the idea of a place that can bring people together from all over the world to understand Shakespeare and what he represents. Shakespeare, one might say, is everybody’s ambassador and the Globe is his embassy. I came to realize, during the week, that the work developed by the Globe Education is of the utmost importance in every aspect. It is not only the magic in being inside a wonderful recreation of Shakespeare’s theatre but also of what Shakespeare means to the rest of the world. Shakespeare has such power that he is able to attract persons from very different cultures and create a bond among them.

Mansfield College, Oxford

Sunday 8th – Saturday 14th August 2010

The ESU International Relations Conference deals with a variety of issues relating both to international relations and to Britain’s international role in the world today. The theme of the 2010 conference is ‘Global Challenges’.

The aim of the conference is to give delegates the opportunity to expand their knowledge of Britain, and widen their outlook on world issues and current affairs. It also offers a unique opportunity to make individual contacts with people from various fields, cultures and backgrounds. The majority of delegates are young professionals from trade and industry, law, journalism, teaching and the diplomatic service.

Basic outline:

•Lectures on topics including:

- Terrorism

- Political and Economic Models

- Climate Change

- Integration, Culture and Conflict

• Seminar discussions and workshops

• Trip to London to include a visit to the theatre

• Social networking events

• Tour of Oxford and its colleges.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CONFERENCE‘GLObAL CHALLENGES’

Please submit applica-tions to Annette Fisher, Head of International Programmes on annf@esu.org / +44 (0)20 7529 1565.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CONFERENCE‘GLObAL CHALLENGES’

Criteria for scholarship recipients

• Young professionals (aged 23-35 approximately), from career backgrounds in law, journalism, teaching, business, politics and the third sector.

• Delegates can be sponsored by their organisation or provide their own funding.

• Applicants must ensure they are able and willing to participate in every aspect of the programme and are able to cope with the demanding schedule.

• Applicants must be available for the entire duration of the course.

Up to three delegate places can be allocated per country, but only one will be funded by the ESU. For additional places, a fee of £1,000 per delegate applies.

All aspects (lectures, tours, theatre, socializing) were so perfectly complementary and balanced.

The first part of the conference devoted to international relations, in particular the EU, Eastern Europe and peace keeping forces was particularly intriguing for me, since my country is currently at a very important crossroads, deciding on its future position within the international community, the EU in the first place. What was absolutely amazing and encouraging for me in many ways was the amount of understanding of and the genuine interest for the situation in my country, which both lecturers and participants in the conference clearly expressed. The conversations I had with other participants in the conference (from an amazing number of 23 nations) and lecturers alike were absolutely invaluable.

I wish to emphasize the most valuable aspect of this conference and that is the opportunity to meet so many interesting people from so many different cultures, a real treat, and an absolutely invaluable experience that I have already shared with many people upon the return to my country, most of whom have expressed a genuine interest for the ESU ideas.

Not only have my expectations been fulfilled, but they have by far been exceeded, for which I thank you all very much in the hope that I will get an opportunity to welcome you and other ESU members at a conference or event in Belgrade, which we could now model on the Oxford experience, an example of an absolutely unforgettable and perfectly organized event.

A scholarship covers accommodation, meals, course fees including any excursions or theatre trips. The scholarship/course fee DOES NOT cover travel to and from the UK, and travel to and from your arrival airport.

Consider the following points when finding suitable delegates for the summer conferences:

- How will the experience benefit their current and future work?

- Will they be able to share what they have learnt and experienced on the programme when they return home and therefore increase the reach of the programme?

- Have they had the opportunity to visit the UK before?

• Please note that scholarships are awarded at the discretion of Dartmouth House and on the merit of each application. All applications will be considered by Dartmouth House and applicants will be informed of their success directly.

• Please send a letter/report of recommendation with the applications you put forward. In the event that the organisers feel that none of your nominees are suitable, a scholarship will not be awarded. Sending an application does not guarantee automatic scholarship.

GUIDELINES FOR NOMINATORS AND NOMINEES

NB: for the three summer seminars we encourage you to send all applications received. Dartmouth House will then make the final decision.

• Nominees will be informed directly as to whether or not they have been successful as soon as possible.

• Nominees must declare if they have received an ESU scholarship before.

• The deadlines for applications for ALL summer courses is Friday 14 May 2010 and the applicant may email the ESU directly with their application. Any application form returned after the deadline will be considered at the discretion of the organisers.

• Nominees should only apply if they can commit to the entire duration of the course. As the programmes are a week long, it is imperative that the chosen delegates arrive on time and do not leave before the end of the course. Delegates arriving after the start date or leaving before the final day will lose their scholarship immediately and the International ESU/nominating organisation will be eligible for any financial loss incurred and may forfeit future places.

• Applicants must ensure they are physically fit, able and willing to participate in every aspect of the programme and are able to cope with the demanding schedule.

• Delegates will be accommodated in single bedrooms. Bathrooms are normally shared between two delegates.

*delegates for the International Relations Conference will be given bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

• Nominees should be informed that partners will not be able to accompany them to any of the summer seminars.
