Project meeting in France - Programme Draft

Hello friends
I had a meeting with my three colleagues (Michel Gougain, Venera Thevenot, Colette Bourgeois) who shall be working on the project.
We talked about our programme for La Ravoire.
We decided to include the following activities:
a) a meeting for all participants (both students and teachers) in which students present themselves, their school, their town and region.
b) the projection of Ken Loach's film 'It's a Free World' at the local cinema followed by a debate.
c) a 'round table' discussion in which two immigrants will be invited to the lycée to talk about their experience of leaving their homeland to settle in another country.
Students will of course be invited to participate.
d) a meeting with students and teachers to design the final version of the questionnaire which aims to find how positively immigrants are perceived in their country.Ideally each team of students will come with a questionnaire prepared beforehand to facilitate the design of the common one.
e) students will have an opportunity to attend two classes either with their exchange partner or another suitable class. During this time teachers from the six schools will meet to draw conclusions concerning progress so far and discuss work to be achieved by the second meeting in Romania.
f) A guided tour of Chambéry will be organised on one afternoon and Annecy on another afternoon.Pupils will spend the Saturday with their host family. Teachers will be entertained by the French team.You will of course receive the official programme for the week as soon as everything has been finalized.I have asked the 34 students in my class working on the project to prepare their profile sheets.These will be sent once they've been corrected.
Please don't hesitate to react, ask questions etc.
