The beautiful rolling countryside and fertile lands of the region have been the backdrop for many historical moments. It was here in 55BC that Julius Caesar landed and uttered the famous words "Veni, vidi, vici" (1 came, l saw, 1 conquered). King Henry VIII first met wife number one, Anne of Cleaves, here, and his chieffruiterer planted the first apple and cherry trees, giving Kent the title of the 'Garden ofEngland'. Kent has also served as the setting for many films such as A Room with a View, The Secret Garden, Young Sherlock Holmes and Hamlet. 10:09 Fawkham Junction . This is the moment we change over to the high-speed line. From now on Eurostar can travel at a top speed of 186mph (300km/h).

Voici comment la capitale autrichienne a retourné à son avantage une série de handicaps économiques et géopolitiques. Introduction Au milieu des années 80, lorsque Vienne présenta son premier plan d’aménagement, la municipalité pensait que sa démographie était sur le déclin et entrevoyait de graves difficultés pour son économie. Mais les transformations géopolitiques amenèrent une nouvelle vague d’immigration vers la ville, qui dut s’adapter rapidement et concevoir de nouvelles initiatives. Un vent nouveau souffla sur l’aménagement urbain. La remarquable croissance démographique de Vienne sous l’effet des migrations se déroula en trois phases : • de 1989 à 1993, un rapide accroissement ; • de 2000 à 2006, une nouvelle augmentation ; • depuis 2010, un accroissement vif et régulier d’environ 22 000 personnes par an, en moyenne.

  • Senator's Pre-Tour from Sunday 5Th May to Wednesday 8Th May, 2019
    JCI Senator's Pre-Tour From Sunday 5th May to Wednesday 8th May, 2019 It is a tradition to propose a pre-tour to the Senators to discover the region of the European Conference site. This year, we propose to discover the south part of the region, called "Drôme-Provençale". It's located 100 kilometres south from Lyon in the Rhône Valley and it's the beginning of the Provence. The pre-tour starts from Lyon city centre on Sunday 5th May 2019 morning and it finishes in Lyon, just in front of the conference site on Wednesday 8th May (end of morning). The price we propose is "All inclusive": – 3 nights and breakfast (Su, Mo, Tu), it means you don't have to pack and unpack your luggage every day. – All lunches and dinners from Sunday to Tuesday. – Transport from Sunday morning to Wednesday morning in a comfortable coach. – Visits and guides. – And… surprises! The Senators and the members of Jeune Chambre Economique de Valence will be very happy to welcome you for a unique experience! JCI Senators of Auvergne Rhône-Alpes SENATOR'S PRE-TOUR Discover Drôme From the cliffs of the Vercors to the plains of Provence, from the sun-drenched vineyards to the upland villages, Drôme is both shadow and light, spacious yet intimate. From one end to the other, Drôme is a mosaic of scenery with breath-taking panoramas, perfumed with the fragrances of the South. 2 SENATOR'S PRE-TOUR Valence, our base-camp Situated astride the greatest European North-South route, Valence-sur-Rhône, the main city of Drôme, is a staging post par excellence and also an attractive place for a longer stay.

  • Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic
    Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic By Celine L Maillard A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Douglas P Collins, Chair Maya A Smith Susan Gaylard Ana Fernandez Dobao Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of French and Italian Studies College of Arts and Sciences ©Copyright 2019 Céline L Maillard University of Washington Abstract Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic Celine L Maillard Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Douglas P Collins Department of French and Italian Studies This research investigates the rewriting of the nation in France during the Third Republic and the role played by primary schools in the process of identity formation. Le Tour de la France par deux enfants, a textbook written in 1877 by Augustine Fouillée, is our entry point to illustrate the strategies used in manufacturing French identity. We also analyze other texts: political speeches from the revolutionary era and from the Third Republic, as well as testimonies from both students and teachers written during the twentieth century. Bringing together close readings and research from various fields – history, linguistics, sociology, and philosophy – we use an interdisciplinary approach to shed light on language and national identity formation. Our findings underscore the connections between French primary education and national identity. Our analysis also contends that national identity in France during the Third Republic was an artificial construction and demonstrates how otherness was put in the service of populism.
