Our Guest of Honor:

Fred Collay
Language Consultant. Entrepreneur

"Working With The French"
(Travailler au côté des français)

In Fred's own words: "Vous êtes en France, depuis une semaine, un mois, un an, un siècle (comme on s'ennuit à Paris...) et vous avez travaillé au côté des français."... C'est une expérience que vous souhaitez partager avec d'autres?

(A rough translation. You've been in France a week, a month, a year, a century (how boring Paris can be...) and you work with the French....It's an experience that you'd like to share with others?)

Fred Collay has been a language trainer for six years and decided to become self-employed (started up his own business in Paris) two years ago. He has a broad background which helps him in designing teachers' programs and activities. He is especially gifted in creating games, situations and topics.

After pursuing studies in journalism, history and communications, Fred moved from France to England, where he began his teaching career as an Extra English Teacher. Back in France in 2000, he moved forward, still teaching in schools and working in companies such as France Telecom and Renault. Then in 2005 Fred left schools behind him and started his own company C.L.E.F.(Clubs Linguistiques de Experience et de Formation) and secured clients such as Hilton, eBay, Mederic (insurance) and Crédit Mutuel. Fred’s clients have learned that they can expect good teaching (in French and in English) and a high level of interpersonal involvement.

On Thursday, for those who missed Fred's talk in February, he will also answer a few questions from "would be teachers" and offer brief concrete advice, based on his own experiences, in setting up a language business.

Patricia writes on being an Expat:
"... As the years went by, I also realized that the feeling of being foreign and other, transcends even race. You are not part of their (French) culture. It doesn't matter who you are or of what origin you are. You're either French (in your head and behavior), or not. When I began to see that, I began to identify myself as an expat. The sum of being an American who lives in Paris, an African-American trying to find roots here, minus not being French - but seeing life internationally - on a large scale and permanently, equals my personal experience of being an expat."

Our Guest of Honor:

Joe Johnson
American Painter In Paris
"Communicating Between Cultures"

From Joe Johnson:

" I am Joe Johnson American painter living in Paris. I use visual arts in the same manner that the storyteller uses his voice to transport the listener on a voyage.

The language of my painting is to communicate a message that shows the differences between cultures.

My portraits lead the public to reflect on the identity which is not only defined by the socialization of a culture, but by the mixing of several cultures and traditions. My objective is to create a dialogue where each one sees the various aspects of its own character : physical, the political, the spiritual and the psychological.

My work underlines the origins of my personal beliefs, by integrating the African and European religious symbols there. It highlights the latent mysticism which exists in the Afro-American culture."

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIA
This Sunday 29 April At 18h30.

Judith Barr
Professor

"Food and Quality of Life"

From Judith Barr:
"We seek comfort and companionship with food (Paris Soirees Dinners as an example) and how food is so central to who we are and our quality of life. What happens when, as a result of some illness or other condition, we have to change what we eat? How does this affect our quality of life and how can we measure that change?

Colleagues and I at Northeastern University have conducted a number of focus groups with all types of individuals across the country. It would be great to briefly describe the role of food and our work in this field and get some international flavor on what others think"

Judith Barr is Associate Professor and Director, National Education and Research Center for Outcomes Assessment

Patricia writes about being an expat:

"...As the years went by, I also realized that the feeling of being foreign and other, transcends even race. You are not part of their (French) culture. It doesn’t matter who you are or of what origin you are. You’re either French (in your head and behaviour), or you’re not. When I began to see that, I began to identify myself as an expat. The sum of being an American who lives in Paris, an African-American trying to find roots here, minus not being French – but seeing life internationally – on a large scale and permanently, equals my personal experience of being a expat."

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIA
This Sunday 1 April At 18h30. Paris Soirees 8th Anniversary and Soiree Gastronomique

Our Guests of Honor:

Katrina Neal
Designer from India
"What Is India To Me"

Katrina Neal was born in Hyderabad, the capital city of the Indian state of Andra Pradesh, a meeting point for North and South India, also considered to be the gateway of Southern India.It's also a place where Hindus and Muslims have co-existed peacefully for centuries. She emigrated to Malaysia with her parents when she was only four years old, grew up and studied there.

Beautiful little Katrina was a real Tomboy so her Father encouraged her to go into the field of modeling and grooming. In 1991, she moved back to India, continued her career in modeling and absorbed, as an adult, Indian culture. For Katrina, it was a new awakening. She was inspired by her Indian origins and eventually was more interested in designing clothes "rather than just wearing them." She learned the design business while in India: choosing fabrics, cutting and stitching and remains inspired by the culture and colours of India. She specializes in silk and embroideries.

Katrina Neal has resided in Paris for seven years with her French husband and two children

Erica Simon:
PhotographerErica Simone's Vivid Photographs: "Incredible India." Erica Simone, has recently returned from a trip to India . Her photos will show us truly incredible images.
