Médecins Sans Frontières have provided ISMLA with the link to MSF UK's new video resources for French students.
The 13 videos in French are free to download and also have exercises and transcripts. They are focused on topics in the A2 syllabus but would also be useful for IB and Upper Tier GCSE students and indeed undergraduates.
The videos, originally created by MSF colleagues on the continent, have been shortened and are suitable for schoolchildren. They cover topics such as health, poverty, water resources HIV/AIDS and development. We hope they will engage students. The pages are at:
In one of the films a nurse, Valerie, discusses her motives for volunteering in East Africa:

They are on the http://www.msf.org.uk site, where you will also find a new Schools page describing Médecins Sans Frontières with a presentation suitable for assemblies, charity days and Citizenship classes:
The MSF HR Department site are also always looking for French speakers:

Médecins Sans Frontières hope this material will be useful; any
feedback is welcome.
