Youth Europe Theatre
YET 15 will take place in Noordwijkerhout from 16 February until 2 March 2014.
THE AIMS OF YET
The linguistic aims of the project are to promote the insight that foreign languages are inevitable within the European Union and in the world in general. YET also gives the students a chance to use their foreign language skills, especially English, to become more fluent speakers of the language. Moreover, they will learn the basics of two languages, which they haven’t known before.
The cultural aims are to acquaint the students with one another’s culture and cultural heritage. It will give them a better understanding of different cultures and give them a less prejudiced and more open attitude to them. Learning to know different nationalities and working together with each other will enhance their interest in cultural matters in general. Social and communicative skills will develop while functioning in a multinational group.
HOW ARE THESE AIMS ACHIEVED?
The Dutch, and Finnish students work together in groups of mixed nationalities for two weeks in February to prepare and present a play which has been chosen by the host country and divided into two parts. Each team, directed by an art director from one of the countries, will perform a part of the play. The result will be two very different interpretations of the same play. Cultural differences are very obvious
