Activities
 The
committee’s mission is to promote relations
with the "city of the wind", nickname given to the
city of Corpus Christi, located on the southern
coast of Texas. Maurice Cottenceau, who had agreed
to succeed Robert Isaac in 2013, resigned his
position.
It
was during his presidency that the reception of a
Texan delegation, in 2017, materialized and the
association multiplied its actions in the city of
Agen. He decided to entrust the presidency to his
secretary, Philippe Galan.
Since
the implementation of the twinning thanks to Jeanne
ISAAC and her husband Robert ISAAC (honorary
president of the Agen Corpus Christi twinning
committee), nearly a hundred young officers have
been able to correspond, then welcome and visit
their Texan correspondents. Until 2013, exchanges
were limited to 2 correspondents due to the choice
of the municipality of Corpus Christi to send only
2 correspondents but the Agenais committee is
working for 2014 to extend exchanges both in the
school field and also in the field associative or
professional.
To
apply for the language exchange, you must be a
1st class student and show a letter of motivation
to the Agen Corpus Christi Twinning Committee and
commit yourself in case of selection, to report,
when they return, on the stay made in Texas. The
presentation to the General Meeting of the
Association will be in the form of a slide show or
video that will address the themes chosen by the
members of the Committee.
The
quality of the exchange is based on reciprocity,
high school students and their families must be
available to accommodate for three weeks (end of
June mid-July) their Texan counterparts then our
agents will in turn be received in Texan
families.
