::: Cross Cultural Dialogue Between Any Two Cultures [CODE Y1]
Participants will get a close look at the overall comparative, cross cultural methodology used and see how American students (taking a French class at MIT) and French students (taking an English course at INT) collaboratively and gradually construct an understanding of each other's cultures. Participants will see how French and American students analyse together material derived from their respective cultures, such as personal questionnaires, national opinion polls, films, press articles, literary and historical texts … and how they exchange perspectives on notions such as authority, individualism, success, work, family, government, etc.
Dr. Gilberte Furstenberg, Foreign Languages and Literatures Department, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology


::: Dada, Focus on Berlin, Paris and New York [CODE Y2]
This movement came as a shock to society in 1916, spread throughout the world and established major centers in Berlin, Paris and New York. Settling NY Dadaism apart from its European origins could be the title for this workshop. A slideshow of important artwork - painting, sculpture, pamphlets and the other publications - will be part of this workshop. Many early collages will also be analyzed in a group effort.
Dr. Lisa Zeitz, FAZ,  and Dr. M. Simian, Pedagogical Coordinator, French Institute Alliance Française 


  

::: History and Cultural Content of US-EU Relations [CODE Y3]
The de Gaulle - Roosevelt relationship, Jean Monnet and his Washington counterparts, the development of anti-US stereotypes in France in the 1960s and 1970s followed by the pro-American, pro-business 1980s and the complex responses of the US to an emerging European Union, from "Fortress Europe" to the Transatlantic Partnership in the first Bush and Clinton presidencies. The role and development of the euro and what it means for the dollar could also be discussed.
Dr. Irene Finel-Honigham, Columbia Institute for the Study of Europe


::: Development and Expansion of the European Union - Cultural Impact of Including New East Countries [CODE Y4]
The content of Enduring Issues lends itself to a lesson with high school students on these issues, along with recent articles from FPRI (Foreign Policy Research Institute) as well as EU printed materials and CD-rom. What are the issues of language, culture, education, tourism, economic goods when the EU expands ? How does this impact EU-American relations and what does it mean for American high school students when they consider career options and study abroad.
Christopher Gwin
