The Reading Club took place on Elan’s Interculturel Training Room. 7 rue Guillaume
Bertrand, 75011, Paris in April 30 2014.
During our first
pilot meeting and tanks to our friends of “Colcrea” association we gather 10
participants for the very first reading club. The richness that this group
brought to the Club was they diversity. Among our participant’s we could find
different backgrounds and generations, different level of French language skill
and plenty of other foreign languages.
We did
together 2 different activities; the first one had the aim of knowing each
other and to encourage the exchange of experiences between them and the second
one was the reading. Two participants presented / read a short story related to
their origins and the rest of the group could follow the reading with their own
copy of the text. They underlined the words that they didn’t understand and at
the end of the reading we focused on grammar, vocabulary and a short discussion
about the culture presented on the text.
