Abstract

Abstract This roundtable contribution considers methodologies for expanding Shakespeare’s heritage reach beyond England, through the framework of the “Birnam’s Oak // Scotland’s Shakespeare” project, a community-based project in Perthshire designed to create an expanded model for Shakespeare heritage by cohering a more interdisciplinary range of heritage narratives (local, global, literary, ecological). This piece outlines the project’s narrative strands in relation to co-curricular educational programming: a four-session programme designed for year 5 and year 7 pupils.
