Project Summary

‘Romeo and Juliet’ is one of the most well-known play in the world. It has been translated into many different languages and the plot of it has been repeatedly
adapted for the use of theatrical and film scenes. The aim of the present project is to establish an international cooperation and involve young people from various
countries in order to prepare and present an interpretation of the play ‘Romeo and Juliet”.

In the course of the project’s realization, high school students from Poland, Austria, Germany and Spain will create international groups in which they will work on
the scenario, scenography and costumes. During the 2-years’ project students will visit four partner countries where they will demonstrate their interpretations of
the play. The premiere, based on the scenario prepared by the representatives of a hosting school, will take place in each country.

The superior aim of the project is to increase the knowledge of English language through a mutual work of the projects participants (students and teachers) on the
play. This method of learning a language is attractive and incredibly effective as students, with the use of play, have contact with a proper language and they are
given the opportunity to use their language abilities in practice. What is more, the project aims at:
– overcoming language barriers,
– exploring foreign culture, customs and life styles of partner countries,
– breaking stereotypes and prejudices about the citizens of foreign countries,
– increasing the level of self-confidence and awareness about one’s own abilities,
– developing artistic abilities,
– working in an international team.

The project’s partners will be students and teachers from CKZiU as well as students and teachers, in the same amount, from partner schools.

The participation in the project allows for broadening language and artistic abilities, working in an international team, exploring knowledge about foreign countries,
increasing students’ motivation to learn a language as well as their level of self-esteem and confidence. It will also develop their interpersonal skills through an
effective cooperation in a team or communication in various situations considering current norms. A measurable result of the project will be four interpretations of
a well-known play ‘Romeo and Juliet’. Students can use the gained abilities in their future private and professional life. It will also help to create a kind of a personal
maturity which is essential in and adult life.

This mutual work of students and teachers may bear fruits in the form of long-lasting friendships between the participants of the project.
As a result of the project’s realization prestige and competitiveness of schools in a local environment can be expanded. Thanks to an international cooperation a
school gains an European aspect. The participation in an international project will also contribute to a close collaboration between partner schools what will, in
consequence, give measurable long-term advantages, such as the realization of future common projects.
