Students acting out a scene during an English drama workshop

English Project Weeks at Your School

We create… speakers, team players, storytellers, creatives, dreamers, leaders.

A week in which English is lived – right at your school, with no travel required.

What's included?

Native-speaker trainers

Our team comes from the UK, the USA, Ireland, Canada and beyond – with backgrounds in education, theatre and business.

Projects instead of worksheets

Sketches, short films, themed challenges: creativity, teamwork and real communication take centre stage.

A big final showcase

The week ends with a showcase performance for classmates, teachers or parents – a real sense of achievement.

Up to 30 hours of English in small groups

A fully English-language programme in small groups – maximum speaking time for every individual.

Flexible from 1 to 5 days

The classic project week runs for 3–5 days; more compact project days are also possible.

All year groups & levels

Content is adapted to age and language level – from primary school to sixth form, including mixed-ability groups.

Minimal effort for your school

We bring the programme, materials and trainers – you simply provide the rooms.

Four academies to choose from

Every project week follows one of four themed tracks – and not every group has to do the same one: depending on how many trainers are on site, each workshop group can pick its own academy. All tracks work for years 5 to 13.

Arts Academy

Find your voice. Tell your story. Inspire.

Theatre, film and storytelling: your students develop their own stories, work together and grow their confidence in English through creative self-expression.

  • Theatre & film production
  • Storytelling
  • Confidence through communication

  • Final showcase

Growth Academy

What if there's more in you than you think?

Developed with the evolve Festival: your students strengthen mindset, resilience and self-confidence using methods from personal-development coaching.

  • Discover your strengths
  • Mindset practices (journaling, gratitude)
  • Focus & stress relief (breathwork, meditation)
  • Purpose & goal-setting
  • Emotional intelligence

StartUp Academy

Think like a founder. Build like a creator. Pitch like a pro.

Your students generate ideas, develop real solutions and pitch their vision like true entrepreneurs – business and innovation fundamentals, taught hands-on.

  • Creative problem-solving
  • Business & innovation basics
  • Pitching & public speaking
  • Teamwork & leadership
  • Final pitch in front of an audience

All Stars Academy

Team up. Rise to the challenge. Grow together.

The best of all our programmes: your students dive into team challenges, games and competitions – using English non-stop without it ever feeling like a lesson.

  • Team challenges & competitions
  • Interactive workshops
  • Games & group tasks
  • Team spirit & collaboration
  • Speaking fluently & confidently

What a project week looks like

Every day follows a proven rhythm of warm-ups, workshops and presentations – with plenty of variety and speaking time for everyone. Every language week also includes team-building activities, gamification, a native-speaker meet & greet, and discussions & role-plays.
