Dear Headteachers, French Teachers and French Assistants,

The Institut Français d’Ecosse is holding its annual inter-school drama competition in French. The aim of the event is to promote the learning of French language through a recreational way.

Helped by their teachers and French assistants, the pupils perform a short play in French which may be taken from an original play, adapted from another type of text (novel, short story, poem, tale), or created for the occasion.

For primary classes (P3 to P7), the play must last no less than 5 and no more than 15 minutes.

For secondary classes (S1 to S6), the play must last no less than 10 and no more than 15 minutes.

This year, les Rencontres Théâtrales for both primary and secondary classes, will take place in the following cities (the dates are not finalized and are subject to change but they are likely to remain in the same week):

- Glasgow, on Tuesday 16 March 2010 (Whitehill Secondary School, 240 Onslow Drive

Glasgow G31 2QF),

- Edinburgh, on Thursday 18 March 2010 (venue to be confirmed).

Technical details about the stage and facilities will be available closer to the dates on: www.ifecosse.org.uk/education/events

The jury will consist of Scottish and French personalities involved in the teaching and artistic professions. Performances will be judged on interpretation, creativity, quality of production (direction, costumes, props, etc.).
