This paper presents the Hamlet Project, conducted during the 2024–2025 school year with a class of 28 tenth-grade students (aged 16) by two English teachers. The main idea behind the project was bringing modern day teenagers close to a world which they basically consider too far and too old-fashioned for them to be curious about. The project was aimed to create a real connection between teenagers and the world of the famous Shakespearean masterpiece, Hamlet. This paper presents the phases of the project, the methods used during the project, the results as well as the conclusions of the project.
