• Wisconsin Rapids High School and Bordeaux, France
  Cécile Stelzer writes: "Cette annee, nous irons en France avec la compagnie ISE du Minnesota (pour 3 semaines, en juin-juillet). Ils m'ont demandé de leur trouver des familles à Wisconsin Rapids pour faire un echange avec des enfants de Bordeaux. Les étudiants seront des lycéens, par conséquent entre 15-18 ans. Mes étudiants n'ont pas encore répondu à ça, mais comme la compagnie ISE donne un rabais de $100 aux étudiants des familles américaines sur le voyage de cette annee, je suppose que ça marchera J'en aurai donc environ une dizaine en avril. Les dates restent à confirmer. Je te ferai part des details dés que j'en saurai plus.
• Manitowoc Public Schools and Dormans, Champagne, France
  Jaci Collins writes: In response to your recent e-mail, Manitowoc Public School District has had an on-going exchange with le Collège Claude Nicolas Ledoux in Dormans, Champagne, France. Washington and Wilson Junior High School students have been corresponding via mail, faxing, and soon e-mail since 1990. Two years ago, we had our first exchange of students. Fifteen Dormans students were here in Manitowoc for two weeks in April and fifteen Manitowc students of Wilson, Washington Junior Highs and Lincoln High School went to Dormans in July. Once again in 1998, Dormans students will be in Manitowoc in April and Manitowoc youth will be in Dormans in July. We're still in the process of determining the size of the groups but there has been a significant increase in interest in the exchange. The trips and exchanges are coordinated by Manitowoc Public School District teachers: Jaci Collins, Erin Quinn, Holly Paquette, with assistance of Foreign Language Department Chairman, Keith Wakeman and by Dormans teachers: Christiane Mante, Nicole Diot. The exchanges have been very rewarding for all involved. They have fostered some life time relationships between not only the students but also families. We are all looking forward to another wonderful experience this year.
• Carthage College, Kenosha, WI and 1) Sorbonne, 2)Douai, France
  Irène Kraemer writes: Your message was forwarded to me by Prof. Marian Rothstein. I am glad to inform you that Carthage has two exchange programs with France.
  1. Firstly, we signed a convention with the Sorbonne quite a few years ago facilitating the exchange of our mutual students. Carthage students may spend a year in Paris, and Sorbonne students, at the graduate level, may come to Carthage to work on an M.Ed. and teach lower level French courses here. These French assistants receive a scholarship which covers their tuition, room and board, and a small stipend. We typically invite two students per year. Recently, we have made a similar arrangement with the University of Caen.
  2. Because Kenosha is the sister city of Douai, each year, we offer a one year scholarship to a Douai student. This scholarship covers tuition -- the recepient is responsible for room and board. The purpose of this scholarship is to facilite the practice of the American language and culture for a French student.
