Education

In the vibrant heart of Tilburg, Schouwburg & Concertzaal Tilburg is the place to be for creativity and inspiration. Did you know that Schouwburg & Concertzaal Tilburg welcomes over 11,000 students from regular and special education and 4,500 high school students each year? And we strive to ensure that this number only grows in the coming years!

Theater has an impact on youth

From the buzz before the performance, the wonder in the auditorium, to the flushed cheeks after a theatrical experience... Theater does something for children. Always.

Acquainting youth with culture and theater enhances their creativity and empathy and provides them with the opportunity to engage in conversations about their own life experiences. They see their own situations reflected on stage or discover new perspectives. This is why cultural education is a crucial pillar for Schouwburg & Concertzaal Tilburg.

Cultural education in Tilburg

Students from primary schools, secondary schools, and special education can attend a performance or take a guided tour behind the scenes. To provide the best cultural education, Schouwburg & Concertzaal Tilburg collaborates with theater de Nieuwe Vorst, nationally leading theater companies, local arts teachers, and education specialists.

For many children, attending performances and concerts is not a given; many rarely or never go to the theater with their families but have the chance to do so through school. Thanks to our partners and ambassadors, all students within the municipality of Tilburg can attend our performances and participate in these enriching experiences.

Taking your class to the theater

Where does a performance come to life best? We believe it is in a magical place outside of school, where children can fully open themselves up. In a full-fledged theatrical environment, with a thoughtful lighting plan and professional sound. By visiting the Schouwburg, Concertzaal, Studio, or theater De Nieuwe Vorst, children embark on a journey not just for a day out but step into a new world full of endless possibilities.
