Timeless Tunisia · March Break
Spring break in a francophone country most French teachers have never taught about: Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, the medinas of Tunis and Kairouan, then south to the Sahara.
Designed exclusively for French language educators and retirees, this 9-day journey blends professional development, cultural exploration and time with Tunisian educators, students and experts. Our local guide and every participant speak French throughout.
From the ancient ruins of Carthage to the dunes of the Sahara, you’ll collaborate with fellow educators on shareable curriculum units, visit a school, and meet artists and writers who make contemporary Tunisia so rich to teach.
