Today I am speaking to Fabienne Vailes, Director of French Learning at Bristol University.

In this conversation we talk about:

Fabienne’s reaction to 14 days quarantine with her family and how they, as a family of four are managing their enforced time together.

How Fabienne suggests we speak to our children about the current situation.

Fabienne’s reaction to the closure of schools and universities and the questions she hopes it will prompt people to ask about the future of education.

Living with uncertainty and how tough it is for children and students to accept that no one has all the answers at the moment – we’re all adjusting.

Fabienne’s advice to herself and to students/parents who are facing the school and college shut-down and home schooling.
