Reception by the city of Brest

Today our group was invited to a reception by the Mayor of Brest so that they may officially welcome the program into their city.



We were welcomed by an adviser to the mayor. Here is a few of our students listening to her speech:


From our program, our director Marie-Line along with two students (Anasuya and Dylan) gave very well written speeches. The adviser was impressed by their level of French! As one of their teachers, I was touched by her comment. I could not even imagine how proud their friends and family must be!


Following the speeches, gifts were exchanged on behalf of the city of Brest and Indiana University. In addition, we were treated to snacks and drinks while making conversation with host families and students. More photos can be found on the picture website that I made.
