Our Shakespeare Ambassadors are all passionate about making a difference, celebrating Shakespeare, opportunities for playwriting and performing, sharing the arts with more people and encouraging other young people to join them.

They are all engaged in creative arts projects in their communities and schools.These projects range from leading school assemblies and performances to creating resources and even short films. It's up to the ambassadors to choose, design and deliver these projects that focus on sharing the stories and relevance of Shakespeare with their families, peers and communities.

Shakespeare Ambassadors Training

Young people from our Associate Schools who join the Shakespeare Ambassadors programme participate in training days to explore the arts, Shakespeare and leadership.

This year our newest ambassadors from Coventry spent the day with RSC Practitioners at the Belgrade Theatre working on their leadership and communication skills and planning their community projects for the year ahead. 

If you’re aged between nine and 18 years and want to develop your own arts projects, we hope these examples have given you some ideas. Let us know how you get on at shakespeareambassadors@rsc.org.uk
