WEDNESDAY, March 4, 2009- “Windows on the World : SWITZERLAND”
in the Windows on the World series
REGISTER: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/virtualschool/registration.htm
There's more to Switzerland than the Alps, cheese, banks and chocolate! There are small villages nestled in rugged mountains, green pastures surrounding crystal lakes, and legendary art and architecture.
Come join this videoconference as we take a “virtual tour” of Switzerland and explore this land of contrasts. You can sit under palms growing on the lake shores in the warm and sunny southern canton of Ticino and look at mountain peaks covered by eternal snow and ice. Canyons with wild waters and steep rocks are just one hour away from modern cities. Swiss "modern cities" have a fairly-well preserved medieval (if not Roman) nucleus with cathedrals worth visiting and beautiful old houses.
Time: 9:00 and 10:00 AM (CENTRAL time zone)
Targeted Audience: students in grades 5-12
Format: 45-minutes formatted into 30-minute presentation, and then 15-20 minute Q & A
Cost: $75 per site
Questions: Chandra Allison, at (615) 322-6511 or email chandra.allison@vanderbilt.edu
