Three Thai students with their French teacher and the President of the Rotary E-Club 9920 Francophone Jean Louis Nguyen. |
As a partnership between the Lycée de l’Empéri in Salon de Provence, France and the Satit Kaset High School in Bangkok, Thailand the Rotary E-Club 9920 Francophone, helped by the Inter Country Committee France-Thailand (who has been doing this sort of exchange both ways for several years), allowed three young Thai students from Bangkok to stay three weeks with their French teacher in Salon de Provence, plus another week to visit Paris.
All three students spent those three first weeks in an 11th grade classroom, and all three have been staying in a different host family provided by the Rotary E-Club 9920 Francophone.
They have also visited beautiful Provence with their host families and, as they have had to get around all day long speaking French, get more accustomed to the French culture.
This partnership has already been going on for seven years, and it will most probably go on in the future, as young Thai students are increasingly keener about that sort of partnership between France and Thailand.
