Suggestions: In recent years, judges have noted that many videos rely heavily on France and stereotypes of the French and France (mustaches, berets, striped shirts, croissants, escargots, baguettes…). We invite you to challenge your students to look beyond the French Revolution, Impressionist artists, and Coco Chanel. Depending on the theme, integrate the Francophone world and current Francophone artists, music, clothing trends, and food.
