The Cultural Services of the French Embassy, in partnership with Kickstarter, with support from NAFSA: Association of International Educators (NAFSA) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), has launched the second edition of the France on Campus Award under the patronage of film director Wes Anderson, to discover, celebrate and support student-led initiatives that explore France in new and creative ways.
The Award is intended to help student organizations eager to launch or continue a major France-related project on campus by providing a unique package of funding, mentorship and networking. With this support, awardees will be expected to craft initiatives that expose new audiences to French language and culture on their campuses and beyond.
The call for applications is open from September 28 until November 6, 2016. Projects can encompass all fields, including (but not limited to) visual arts, design, film, food, journalism, music, photography, performance, publishing, science, and technology.
See the attached flyer for additional details.
