<H2>SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS FOR ONE-WEEK LANGUAGE IMMERSION IN SUMMER 2020</H2>
<p><strong>GET TO KNOW A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE</strong></p>
<p>The Swiss Benevolent Society of Chicago is sponsoring scholarship awards for a one-week summer language immersion experience in French, German, or Italian at the <a href="http://www.concordialanguagevillages.org">Concordia Language Villages</a> in northern Minnesota in the Summer of 2020.
</p>
<p><strong>ONE-WEEK YOUTH EXPLORATION:</strong> a program for children between 7 and 18 years of age. Students may use the scholarship to explore a new language or use the opportunity to continue working on their language skills in a language they have been studying.</p>
<p>The mission of the Concordia Language Villages is to prepare young people for responsible citizenship in a global community. Because language education alone does not lead to the formation of world citizens, language and culture is taught in global contexts. Geography, history, political science and international relations are drawn on, creating learning situations that challenge participants to use language as a tool for understanding the complexities of the world around them. There are several locations: <em>Waldsee</em> offers an in-depth living experience in German-speaking cultures; <em>Lac du Bois</em> offers an in-depth living experience in French-speaking cultures; and at <em>Lago del Bosco</em> students can experience <em>la dolce vita</em> of Italy.</p>
