France first Read-Allow Club

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.
