Extended deadline for the Schools Liaison & Outreach Funding Initiative

The ASMCF’s Schools Liaison and Outreach Funding Initiative offers up to £500 to support members of the Association who organise teacher- or pupil-focused events which fulfill the following objectives:

• promote the learning of French in its social, political, historical and cultural context in schools to prepare pupils for the diversity of content of current UK French degrees;
• assist teachers who wish to engage in personal intellectual development in subjects relating to those which they are teaching, with a view to enrich their provision and enable them to help students to bridge the gap between school and university.

The deadline for the submission of applications is 31 October 2019for projects to be undertaken between November 2019 and February 2020. More information about the scheme, including project criteria and application procedure can be found on the ASMCF website: http://www.asmcf.org/funding/#outreach.

Examples of successful past projects are available here, and more information about topics and activities which can be of interest to schools can be found here.
