Perpignan, France this summer!

Do you dream of becoming a foreign correspondent? Would you
like to practice your French while learning multimedia
skills? Come to Perpignan this summer!

San Francisco State University and the Institute for
Education in International Media (ieiMedia) are
co-sponsoring a four-week study-abroad program in
Perpignan, a charming city near the Spanish border, June
24-July 23, 2010.

The program is open to college students and recent
graduates from all schools. The application can be found on
the ieiMedia Web site (www.ieimedia.com).

Perpignan lies in the Languedoc region of southwestern
France, 8 miles west of the Mediterranean Sea and 19 miles
north of the Spanish border, within sight of the Pyrenees.
The city features a charming, pedestrian-friendly historic
quarter; a daily market; and lively nightlife. Many
attractions in France and Spain are only a short train ride
away. Students will share studios in a modern
apartment-hotel.

Students will study various aspects of multimedia with a
particular emphasis on video storytelling and will produce
a multimedia Web site about the city. In addition they will
get 30 hours of French language instruction at the ALFMED
language school in the heart of the old city.
