The Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, Adela Martínez-Cachá, attended today the performance of the play ‘Snow White’, by the company Arena Teatro, along with more than 800 students from first to sixth grade of Primary Murcia schools San Pedro, Andrés Baquero, Nuestra Señora de Belén, Santiago el Mayor, María Maroto, Vistabella and Puente de Doñana.

The performance took place at the Romea Theater in Murcia and is included in the initiative ‘Theater Cycle in English’ of the program ‘+ Languages’, framed in the Bilingual Plan 2018/2019, and in which this year more than 6,000 students will participate of the Region of Murcia. In this regard, Martínez-Cachá, stressed that «the regional government continues to favor measures to promote bilingualism,» adding that «we also bet on theater as a tool for the social, cultural and cognitive development of students.»

This cycle, which has been launched this course in an experimental way, contemplates that the work ‘Snow White’ be represented in different municipalities and, thus, facilitate the participation of all the interested centers. Specifically, it took place in Molina de Segura (28 November), Caravaca de la Cruz (11 December), Cieza (12 December) and Yecla (13 December). The next municipalities to host the play in English will be Lorca (February 5), Torre Pacheco (February 6) and Cartagena (February 13).

The call for the municipalities in which this activity has not yet been developed is still open, so that the interested centers can obtain all the information in the portal http://www.educarm.es.
