The oldest active chapter in the Pacific Northwest, the Washington/Alaska Chapter promotes cultural and artistic events with a French focus as well as pedagogical workshops for teachers across Washington state and Alaska. Our bi-annual newsletter, “La Revue francophone du Pacifique Nord-Ouest,” features interviews about innovative French programs in Washington and Alaska, cultural events, teaching techniques, as well as local news from our states and from France and the Francophone world. Washington’s MOU with the Académie de Nantes through the Passepartout Program makes possible exchanges between high schools in Washington state and the Nantes region. It also promotes global connections for teachers at all levels ( elementary, secondary, and university) with job shadowing opportunities and travel in each country.
