Free and open to all New England high school and middle school teachers of French.
You can still register to one of the three scheduled dates for Gilberte Furstenberg's workshop in March and April 2015. Designed to provide teachers with a different way to teach French culture, Gilberte Furstenberg's workshop offers a new dynamic approach, as well as a set of materials, that enable students to better understand those very aspects of culture which are difficult to teach, such as attitudes, behaviors, values and mindsets
in today's France, while avoiding stereotypes. - IMPORTANT: Please note that the 02/19 workshop in Boston has been cancelled and moved to April 2. To register by Mar 30, click here.
- Mar 14 at Mount Holyoke College (South Hadley, MA): to register by Mar 12, click here (NB: for this event, a $22 participation fee will be required in order to cover the costs of the breakfast and lunch).
