BRAVO!

Following last month’s internship evaluations across all programs, we’ve seen that our students are facing common challenges while continuing to grow and strengthen shared skills and qualities.

Great job, everyone 👏

Keep up the momentum for the weeks ahead!

ASTURIAS, SPRING 2026: Bilbao!

The preparatory session ended last week with a study trip to the capital of Biscay. On the agenda: aperitifs and pintxos in Plaza Nueva, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, and walks through the city streets. The weather was spring-like, as was the general mood!

ASTURIAS, SPRING 2026: visit to the Niemeyer Center in Avilés.

The Óscar Niemeyer International Cultural Center (Niemeyer Center) was designed by Brazilian architect Óscar Niemeyer. It is the centerpiece of a broad regeneration process for the post-industrial city, following, on a smaller scale, the model of Bilbao.

The students were able to visit the exhibition “Ramón Masats. Visit Spain,” which chronicles the photographer’s journey between 1955 and 1965 as he traveled throughout Spain with his camera.

PARIS, SPRING 2026: A Day in Meaux!

Located less than an hour from Paris, Meaux boasts beautiful contrasts and a wonderful blend of French history and culture. The group visited the Great War Museum, which features a reconstruction of a World War I trench; the cathedral; and the Maison du Brie de Meaux, which is dedicated to the famous cheese. There, they enjoyed tastings and met with members of the Confrérie des Compagnons du Brie de Meaux.

PARIS, SPRING 2026: discovering Belleville!

Guided by Sébastien, the Group discovered this small Parisian village, vibrant with cultural diversity and authenticity!

Language. Culture. Visibility.

When Spanish Takes Center Stage - A major global performance highlighted the cultural reach of Spanish, bringing linguistic diversity to the forefront.

Multilingualism matters — in education, in society, and on the world stage.

ASTURIAS, SPRING 2026: Around the Sella River!

Today the students went to the historical and cultural heart of Asturias: the sanctuary of Covadonga, then Cangas de Onís with its historic « Roman » bridge over the Sella River. After a hearty lunch of the finest Asturian cuisine, the excursion ended on the coast, at the mouth of the river, in Ribadesella.

STRASBOURG, SPRING 2026: meeting with students from Strasbourg!

This week, the group welcomed students from the University of Strasbourg to the IFE center! Many thanks to Professor Jean Zougrana for facilitating this meeting!

ASTURIAS, SPRING 2026: Visit to the Muséu del Pueblu d’Asturies (The Museum of the Asturian People)

Last Sunday, the students visited this museum, which documents the culture of the Asturian people, while being in a setting that contains rural buildings and houses, resembling a traditional Asturian village.
