Each speaker will talk about how they and their chapters have transformed or plan to transform events into virtual celebrations.

Tom will present on possible French Club and National French Week activities that he is reimagining for the virtual and hybrid worlds.   These suggestions can be implemented in local schools and at the chapter level.   Tom will be supported by his colleagues, Andrea Isabelli and Heather Meindl, who will help with follow-up discussion.

Check out a model of how a schoolwide world language week celebration went fully online this past May, and learn how you can adapt some of the concepts for National French Week.   Jon will present the successes and areas for improvement from this event and share ideas of how to fully Frenchify some engaging online celebration activities.

Karen invites everyone to come along on a virtual journey packed with possibilities to promote Franco-Fun within your school and greater community for National French Week.  Allons-y!
