Description
Community College in France is an initiative presented by the Embassy of France and Albertine Foundation, with support from FACE Foundation. It builds connections between U.S. community colleges and French higher education institutions while increasing diversity and inclusion in study abroad. The initiative helps students with a strong interest in cultural exchange experience life in France through short-term summer programs or enrollment in degree-granting programs.
Its French Bootcamps are two-week summer programs organized and hosted by French higher education institutions. They combine academic study with multidisciplinary, project-based learning focused on sustainable development and ecology. Faculty and administrators can also attend Bootcamps to learn about the French higher education system, meet French counterparts, and discuss institutional collaboration.
