2 The University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne has the pleasure to invite you to its 1st Erasmus+ International Staff Week, which will take place from April 16 to April 20, 2018 in Reims, France. Improving the integration of international students is one of the political priority for the University of Reims Champagne - Ardenne. The goal of this Staff week is to compare how each University implements with the welcome and the integration of its international publics. The URCA wishes to show its expertise and to enable partners to exchange good practices about this topic. With a dynamic program of conferences, workshops, debates, meeting with local actors, you will develop new skills to create intercultural events for your international students. From April 16 to April 20, 2018 two main campus events will take place: The Turbo film Festival, a short-movie contest, and the International Students day «Cultures en fête», organised by the Office of International Affairs. This event will be a great opportunity to promote your own University among our students and to encourage students mobility. Located 45 minutes from Paris, the URCA has a privileged position, in the middle of the Champagne vineyard. To conclude this week, the participants will be invited to discover the Champagne making-process and will enjoy the diversity of our region. In addition, participants can extend their stay to attend as a VIP guest the Turbo film Festival Ceremony (one of the greatest cultural event of our University). dri@univ-reims.fr PROGRAMME: DAY 0: Monday 16 April Welcome Evening 19:00-22:00 Welcome Cocktail Meeting Point: Restaurant L Apostrophe - 59 Place Drouet d Erlon - 1st Floor
