Week of theatre
I’m a German Waldorf mother since 10 years at the Waldorf school in Landsberg (45 minutes south-west of Munich) and I’m doing theatre professionally. Since 5 years I’ve been
organizing German youth groups (kids coming from all over Germany and from various Waldorf schools) going for a week to England during their summer vacation doing a theatre-language project. The kids are between 11 and 17 years old, the groups size is about 18-24 kids.
This year I rented the youth hostel in Lizard,
Southwest Cornwall for two weeks.
The weeks to choose from are either August 16-23 or August 25-September 1.
This year I would like to do mixed groups,
German and English kids, since they could not
only get to know each other and their culture
but also exchange their language. We have a
German "trainer" as well as an English one. We
play theatre every day, go to the beach, play
football and volleyball, visit sightseeing spots, cook together and will perform a theatre piece the end of the week. Of course the German kids would have to speak English and the English, if wanted, could talk German (if they already had some at school, they could stay with their native language as well, it’s optional).
Last year we had a mixed group and it was so
much fun for the kids and the learning aspect about each other is so worthy. My contact:
