Workshop
Region: 
South West
Location:

After two very successful years we are again delighted to offer secondary schools in the South West an exciting opportunity to take part in our creative project -- Bristol French Drama Festival, which will take place on Saturday 14th March 2015 at the University of Bristol.

 

You can learn to run a French theatre club for your pupils, culminating with a fun performance for all! Pupils will perform a piece prepared in their drama club and share it with other participants, friends and families!

 

To watch the highlights of the festival last year, please visit our YouTube RiLSouthWest Channel

 

This is a joint event with a Bristol-based company Theatre VO

 

Bristol French Drama Festival is supported by Institut Français and this year it will open the Semaine de la Langue Française et de la Francophonie.

Programme: 

The training workshop is designed to help you organise a theatre club at your school with a view to participate in the festival in March.

 

It will be held on Wednesday 12th November at the University of Bristol at 2.00 - 4.30 pm. This will give participants the confidence and numerous ideas to develop a drama club in school. Training sessions are delivered by two enthusiastic French drama teachers who have years of experience in running French theatre workshops for children and adults.

 

You and your pupils will then have 4 months to prepare a short piece on the pre-determined theme, which they will perform on stage at the festival on 14th March. There may be opportunities for subsequent informal meetings in between.

 

Cost: £20 per assistant

Routes staff from several partner HEIs is giving a series of talks to 1st and 2nd year undergraduates during the universities' Induction Week as part of the national 'Inspiring Languages Week'.

 

The aim is to raise awareness of the Routes into Languages programme in general, to inform university students about various opportunities of getting involved, such as Language Ambassador mentoring scheme in schools and Adopt A Class scheme, and to provide information about opportunities to study or work abroad as part of the university degree offered by different partner universities. Talks are also given to undergraduate students in non-language degrees about foreign language provision and opportunities to pick up a foreign language alongside a huge choice of subjects. Some talks include students' testimonials about their Year Abroad.
