This 10-day intensive program of classes, educational exchanges and cultural activities is ideal for French teachers, but also for those who teach in French and wish to refine their language skills and cultural knowledge in a completely Francophone environment where every minute of every day takes place in French.
This program is available upon registration during the Summer session. However, is also available on request, provided the number of students enrolled is sufficient to start a cohort.
This is a unique opportunity to combine professional development with recreation in an atmosphere of camaraderie, that fosters communication and discovery.
