2010 FRANCE/U.S.A. EXCHANGE

SPEND 1 MONTH IN FRANCEAND LIVE A CULTURAL EXCHANGE

If you are between the ages of 13 and 17,

you can participate in a cultural and linguistic exchange in France

O.S.E.F. France-Usa (A non-profit Organization – Law 1901 for Youth and Sports organization in France) invites you to discover France, its culture, and improve your French language skills in French.

OSEF France-Usa has been organizing linguistic exchanges with Ontario since 1995 and since 1998 with Alberta and British-Columbia. OSEF France-Canada started organizing exchanges with the United States in 2007. Every year we send about 600 students to Canada on our exchanges.

You will spend the month of July in France and return home with your exchange partner at the end of July. Your French exchange partner will return to France at the end of August. Exchange students are carefully selected and all documents are reviewed. While in France you will experience the daily life of the family.

We have the support from the French Cultural Services of the French Embassy in New York.
