“More than 100,000 students a year go through Globe Education with its set courses, programmes, bespoke workshops and events, pre-school to pos-grad – 600 a day are using them. There is a growing library and archive, it has its own publications, and Globe Education has become an authority on Tudor theatre with partnerships with universities around the world. There is also a close relationship with the borough it sits in, Southwark, and the local authority.”

Times Educational Supplement, October 2011Creative Arts MA
"Globe Education at Shakespeare’s Globe, in association with King’s College Lodnon, has devised an MA that encourages teachers to think differently about creative arts in the classroom. …The Globe endeavours to be a centre of creativity, constantly re-interpreting Shakespeare for the modern age, and feel ideally positioned to host an MA that welcomes dialogue with other arts organisations who may also be striving to discover new thinking and pedagogy on the value of creative arts in the classroom.”
