YET 19

Youth, Europe and Theatre is a theatre and language project in which pupils and teachers from different countries work together to produce two plays. The project’s goal is to improve students’ fluency in expressing themselves both linguistically and through movement. This year the participants are from the Teylingen College Leeuwenhorst from the Netherlands and Oulun Suomalaisen Yhteiskoulun lukio from Finland. The project is held in Oulu. For two weeks, the Dutch guests will be hosted by the Finns.
There are two teams, of which both produce a play of their own. The Dutch and Finnish pupils are blended into the groups. By jointly producing a stage play pupils have the possibility to communicate through speech, gesture, movement and music. This makes it easier to break through the ice and the language barrier.
