Under 25s

With fewer students learning French every year, the FBC is very keen to support young people who wish to learn the language and travel to France. The FBC encourages young peope to write creatively about France and the French through the short story prize. In 2001, we produced a publication entitled Crossing the Channel: Promoting academic mobility which provides a wealth of information about studying in France and the advantages of speaking a second language.

This section includes resources for:

young children who want to find a French penpal or skype partner
children and teenagers who want to organise an exchange with a French student
teenagers or young people who wish to do a French language course outside school in the UK
young people who wish to do a French language course in France
those who have left school who are looking for gap year programmes in France
young people who are looking for internships in France

We are keen to expand our resources in this area so if you hear of any suitable organisations or opportunities please get in touch. At the same time we should make it clear that we are simply providing a link and not recommending these organisations.
