The Royal Shakespeare Company\u00a0(RSC)\u00a0works with\u00a0thousands of young people, teachers, and partner theatres each year\u00a0to ensure everyone has access to an arts-rich education and the opportunity to unlock their potential.\u00a0This autumn, RSC Learning is offering a\u00a0wide range of resources and activities for teachers and learners, many free to use, including\u00a0online performances and videos, workshops and professional development opportunities.<\/p>\n

Jacqui O\u2019Hanlon, RSC Director of Learning and National Partnerships said:\u00a0\u2018All young people deserve an arts-rich education. We know this develops the life chances of children, contributes to their wellbeing, develops skills and behaviours that mean they do better at school, enhances employability and creates engaged citizens who make a positive contribution to the world we all live in.<\/p>\n

‘We have so much evidence as an arts sector about the ways in which arts-rich schools and arts learning unlocks potential and reveals new ways to see ourselves, others and the world around us.\u00a0 All young people and schools should have access to artists and resources that support learning outcomes for children and develop pathways for their future, equipping them to go out and thrive in today\u2019s world\u2019.<\/p>\n

The new \u2018Clore Learning Centre online\u2019 workshops enable any school anywhere in the UK to book a workshop with RSC artists to explore the contemporary relevance of Shakespeare\u2019s plays to our lives and world today.
