✨🗣️Great times in the French Department Francophone World Course!🌏

✨The photos are from a recent creative project for which each student designed a bookmark (front and back) that represents the diversity of Francophone cultures.✨The bookmarks reflect a wide range of regions, perspectives, and artistic approaches, connecting students’ work to their individual interests and/or career prospects.

✨The project allowed them to engage with cultural content in a more personal and creative way, while also incorporating French-language elements. The results were outstanding—students demonstrated not only a strong understanding of Francophone diversity, but also a great deal of originality and attention to detail. 🎨

✨The students also received award certificates for their travel posters project presentations and excellent French mastery!
