The project was launched in the 2022/23 school year and is aimed at PASCH schools in the seven countries in the south-western Europe region (France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Malta). It takes place every two years as a competition, alternating with the regional PASCH theatre festival.
Participating schools produce a talk show on a topic of their choosing and submit it as a video to their local Goethe-Institut in January 2023. As part of a national selection procedure, a jury selects the best talk show in each of the seven participating countries. The seven winning schools (one school per country) will then meet up from 25 to 30 April 2023 in Hamburg at an international youth event where the students will present their talk shows and produce new ones in mixed country groups.
Kick-off in Lisbon
A collaborative event for PASCH contact partners from the south-western Europe region was held in September 2022 in the Portuguese capital, which was attended by teachers from the participating PASCH schools and the actress and speaker Judith Gorgass. She led the workshops and the concept for the pioneering project was developed based on valuable feedback from the teachers and Goethe staff. True to the name of the project, the teachers and PASCH contact partners played the role of the pupils to act out the various talk show formats from different perspectives.
