On 28 February, the French Embassy awarded the 精品成人福利在线 University Cercle Fran\u00e7ais (French Club), a France on Campus<\/a> award.

“Mardi Gras\u201d<\/h2>\n

For the France on Campus award, MSU students created hands on workshops (conducted in French) to help nearly 300 secondary school French students practice their language skills while \u201ctraveling the French-speaking world\u201d to celebrate \u201cCarnaval\u201d (Mardi Gras). Visitors to 精品成人福利在线 presented their \u201cairline tickets\u201d to travel to the different \u201ccountries\u201d where they could stamp their passports, participate in cultural activities, and taste foods from Nice (France), B\u00e2le (Switzerland), Fort-de-France (Martinique, France), Port-au-Prince (Haiti), Qu\u00e9bec (Canada), and La Nouvelle Orl\u00e9ans (Louisiana).<\/p>\n

Photographs here, courtesy of the French Embassy and participants who posted on social media (#FrenchDay2020<\/a>), document the fun of replicating the \u201cbataille de fleurs\u201d characteristic of Carnaval in Nice, dressing in costumes as they would in Guadeloupe, or donning the red ribbon of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s Bonhomme du Carnaval. The Embassy created an interactive Instagram story<\/a> to document their experience of the Montclair campus and the Montclair students\u2019 vision in action. Visiting students also put their French skills to good use in the other workshops featured in the French Day program<\/a>: they traveled to Togo, Corsica, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, and Senegal to explore fashion, music, and tourist attractions.<\/p>\n
