Embark on a virtual journey across six vibrant villes francophones from around the globe, exploring the rich cultural and linguistic diversity that defines today’s French-speaking world. In this engaging strand, participants will “visit” a unique city on a different continent each day, gathering real-world resources, classroom-ready materials, and authentic texts for immediate use. Collaborate with fellow educators to design lessons and activities that highlight intercultural connections and inspire student curiosity. Leave with a toolkit of dynamic strategies for deepening students’ global awareness, critical thinking, and communication skills in French—and be ready to bring the excitement of international exploration home to your classroom.
