Join a virtual language exchange! If you are a teacher, parent, or student in a Davidson County or surrounding area school, Sister Cities of Nashville would love to partner with your classroom, your student, or you on a virtual language exchange. We are currently seeking middle and high school students to partner with similar-aged students from 5 of our Sister Cities for the 2020/2021 school year. Students are individually paired for a weekly one-on-one language exchange experience. This is a great way to sharpen your language skills, make a new friend, and supplement online learning. Email Student Exchange Director, Claire Coleman at claire@scnashville.org for more details or to get involved with this program. Registrations for open languages are below. The German language program will open later in the school year. ~There is no cost to participate in this program~ |

to This November, our newest Sister City Chengdu, China will hold the 2020 China Chengdu-U.S. Sister Cities Youth Debate Challenge. One Nashville debate team joined the Debate Challenge in 2019 and had a wonderful time in Chengdu, placing 9th overall!
This program is for senior high school students in Chengdu and U.S. cities. In the past years, the week-long program included school outreach, city tour and exchange cultural activities. However, this year, due to the impact of COVID-19, the tournament may have to be moved to an online platform. If any Nashville debate teams are interested in learning more, please visit the Youth Debate website, or email our Director of Student Exchanges, Claire Coleman, at claire@scnashville.org for questions or to submit your registration form, which can be downloaded below. Registration Deadline: September 30, 2020 Event Dates: November 20, 21, 27, 28 Topic: To be released November 2, 2020 Team Composition: 2 debaters + 1 adult coach Download Registration Form |
