Workshop: Afghan Youth Workshop
Overall aims:
• To develop progressive and sustainable improvements within the Afghan Youth, i.e. interacting with one another
• Gain historical knowledge on Shakespeare and his Globe Theatre
• Develop a multi-cultural atmosphere between Afghans and other cultures.
The event included a 30-40 minute guided tour of the Globe theatre. The tour guide Anthony informed us of the history behind theatre and Shakespeare. He then allowed the group to sit in whilst rehearsals were taking place for an upcoming piece of theatre at the Globe.
Following the tour we then explored the Museum on its knowledge and culture from Shakespeare’s life to modern day theatre, costume, props and agriculture. This helped the group enhance their knowledge concerning many different aspects of Shakespeare’s life.
After exploring the museum, Afghan Council UK invited the group to brunch at "Swan at the Globe", where discussions were taking place after the meal and evaluation forms were given out to each individual, in order to gain knowledge on how the content of the event could be improved and any suggestions that might help us for future events.
FEEDBACK
It was a great experience; I enjoyed the tour very much. The tour guide showed the group around and was very informative. I got a better understanding on the life of Shakespeare and London itself.

Shakespeare Globe Theatre was amazing; I enjoyed the whole day and was very pleased to be allowed to sit in on a rehearsal. I also enjoyed the lunch at "Swan at the Globe". Thank you Afghan Council for giving me such a great opportunity.

There was a lot about Shakespeare that I did not know, my knowledge on Shakespeare times in London increased and I am glad we had the opportunity to go. It was very enjoyable and I am glad everyone had a great time.

I enjoyed the lunch at "Swan at the Globe" we got discuss the Globe and talk about the old London days. I believe more workshops such as this should be organised.

Organising this event was enjoyable as I knew many Afghans would be interested in Shakespeare and his past life. I learnt a great deal from this tour and enjoyed my meal at "Swan at the Globe".
