Shakespeare is coming to life in classrooms across central Ohio this year, thanks to an exciting international collaboration between The Arts Initiative at The Ohio State University and United Kingdom’s Royal Shakespeare Company.

Join us to hear how this innovative partnership, the first of its kind in the United States, focuses on supporting central Ohio teachers by providing an innovative arts education curriculum. 

Designed initially for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) schools, find out why this initiative is unique and how it will impact an estimated 1,700 students this year alone.
