Global Education Partnerships with France
North Carolina has international agreements or Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with public education systems in Spain, China, and, since 2020, France! One of the objectives of the MOU with the Académie de Reims in France is to establish partnerships between teachers in France and North Carolina so that they and their students can work on common projects virtually.
Application Open to All K-12 Teachers in Any Subject
Please see the 20-minute Overview of School Partnerships video and/or the slides as a PDF with information about submitting an online application to be matched with a colleague and school in France.
Here's the shortened URL to the online application: bit.ly/NCandVAapplicationReimsPartnership
Questions about the MOU with France can be sent to the NCDPI Global Education Steering Committee at ncglobaleducation@dpi.nc.gov. Additional details are on the International Agreements page of the NCDPI website's Global Education section, including information about the other MOUs and an updated list of current and past partnerships with France!
