The project was launched in the 2022-2023 school year. It is aimed at PASCH schools in the seven countries of the South-West Europe region (France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta) and takes place as a competition every two years, alternating with the regional PASCH Theatre Festival.
Interested schools created a talk show on a topic of their choice and submitted it as a video to their local Goethe-Institut in January 2023. As part of the national selection process, a jury in each of the seven participating countries selected the best talk show. The seven winning schools (one school per country) met in Hamburg from 25 to 30 April 2023 for an international youth exchange, where the students presented their talk shows and developed new talk shows in mixed country groups.
Podcast project
In the Talk without Borders podcast project, pupils from France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Malta and Luxembourg staged talk shows. They talk about topics that concern them, such as veganism, TikTok or the choice of subjects in secondary school. You can listen to the podcasts produced by the students themselves on the global PASCH website.
