Content of Training program

Teachers will learn about recent works of literature, films, songs and comic books which refer to contemporary France and French people. These authentic documents will enable us to take a wider perspective on approaches in the classroom, with a focus on stimulating learning activities.

Course

Seminars on Mondays to Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 1:05 p.m. (25 units of 45 minutes).

Сhanges in French society are interpreted using a selected body of authentic contemporary artistic and cultural documents. This is combined with active consideration of the methodological approach. This is done in small working groups enabling participants to consider their possible applications in the classroom and offer a number of practical ideas for using these documents.

Afternoon visits are offered to complement the course and introduce the cultural diversity of the Côte d’Azur. This year, the seminar will focus on the following topic: « 1945–2020, les 75 années qui ont changé la société française, vues à travers la littérature, la chanson, le cinéma et la bande dessinée » Training led by Alexandre Garcia, Pedagogical Director.
