Bonjour!

As part of Tui Tuia | Learning Circle’s Immersion Programmes, French teachers will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the linguistic and cultural richness of New Caledonia. This immersion experience in Nouméa will allow teachers to develop their language skills,build their understanding of French communities in the Pacific and inspire them to think of New Caledonia when planning a school exchange in the future.

During the eight-day séjour, teachers will attend French language classes, participate in cultural workshops such as creating your own Kanak sculpture, museum visits, a private tour of a bookshop, two days in a school as well as a two-day trip in the South. Participants will be staying on the university’s campus in typical student accommodations. Additionally, they will be billeted in homestay families (a teacher from the visited school).

Applications close on Thursday 16 May at 4pm. Applications after this date will not be considered. Please note, you and/or your principal may be contacted by Tui Tuia | Learning Circle for more information once you have applied.
