Our Guest of Honor:

Erika Polson
Media

"Paris, International Expats: Connected, But To What?"

Migration and Media In A Global Age

Perspectives And Practices Of International
Expatriates

Interactive
.

Let's have a look at how international expatriates and global nomads use media, global connectedness of information and media technologies to link to create communities, compared with other different migrant groups.

Erika Polson, is a doctoral candidate in international communications at Pennsylvania State University. She will discuss connections between national-identity, personal identity, and media for migrating peoples. Much has been written about specific national or ethnic groups in migration, but there is much to be understood about the perspectives and practices of international expatriates.

As a 24 year expat (next week is my 24th anniversary), I'm fascinated by this subject. Hope to see you on Sunday. - Patricia

Eye Prefer Paris......Doesn't Everyone?


Eye Prefer Paris......Doesn't Everyone?

Richard Nahem, a native New Yorker, moved lock, stock and barrel to Paris 2 years ago. He was a successful caterer/private chef and arts events producer in New York and gave it all up to fulfill his lifelong dream of living in Paris. Along the way, he he started to write a book about the move and his love of Paris called Eye Prefer Paris, which then turned into a blog www.eyepreferparis.com about insider things to do in Paris, and then lead him to start walking tours based on the places he writes about on his blog.

Richard will share his experience of his special Paris and read excerpts from his book and his blog.

Our Guest of Honor:

Fred Collay
Language Consultant. Entrepreneur

"Working With The French"
(Travailler au côté des français)

In Fred's own words:
"Vous êtes en France, depuis une semaine, un mois, un an, un siècle (comme on s'ennuit à Paris...) et vous avez travaillé au côté des français."... C'est une expérience que vous souhaitez partager avec d'autres?

(A rough translation. You've been in France a week, a month, a year, a century (how boring Paris can be...) and you work with the French....It's an experience that you'd like to share with others?)

Fred Collay has been a language trainer for six years and decided to become self-employed (started up his own business in Paris) two years ago. He has a broad background which helps him in designing teachers' programs and activities. He is especially gifted in creating games, situations and topics.

After pursuing studies in journalism, history and communications, Fred moved from France to England, where he began his teaching career as an Extra English Teacher. Back in France in 2000, he moved forward, still teaching in schools and working in companies such as France Telecom and Renault. Then in 2005 Fred left schools behind him and started his own company C.L.E.F.(Clubs Linguistiques de Experience et de Formation) and secured clients such as Hilton, eBay, Mederic (insurance) and Crédit Mutuel. Fred’s clients have learned that they can expect good teaching (in French and in English) and a high level of interpersonal involvement.

On Thursday, for those who missed Fred's talk in February, he will also answer a few questions from "would be teachers" and offer brief concrete advice, based on his own experiences, in setting up a language business.
