The community of Saint-Sauveur de Bergerac got together this week and discussed ways and means to encourage dialogue between the local French and the British expats.
The president of the forum, Christian Billa, explains that there is a large group of British in the village and the region and that it would be beneficial for all if an active dialogue could be initiated. A good start would be to invite about 15 from each language group -- not only from Saint Sauveur, but also from the neighbouring Issigeac and Mouleydier.
The first meeting is already decided for 12 December at 18h30 where the topics for discussion will be established as well as the dates for weekly meetings. They also plan, furthermore, to arrange other activities, such as games, topical meals, talks about different regions in France and England -- with the aim, through better understanding of each other's cultures and countries, to bring the two groups closer together.
