The first phase of the project “Give IMPULSO to your future” ends with the staging of the The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare most famous masterpiece, and the romantic tragedypar excellence, like all classics, lends itself to continual interpretations, adaptations and betrayals.

We have chosen it because it is a text in which young people are courageous and stubborn protagonists, at the centre of powerful and extreme feelings, in search of their own identity and freedom. In a Verona captive of the conflict between the families of the Montague and the Capulets, not even the Prince is at the head of the feud, and rival gangs challenge themselves openly in the streets and squares.

The companies presenting the business cases belong to very different economic sectors. The participants, working in teams, are led to find effective solutions reflecting the needs of the businesses. This opportunity is a good springboard into what is likely to be the participants future work, therefore they must make use of all the personal qualities learned during the project.
