Things to Do in Paris
this Summer:
Go swimming at the Centre aquatique de Neuilly-surSeine an aquatic center with three indoor pools, two
solariums, and an outdoor tanning area. It also has a spa
and saunas.
Watch the iconic Tour de France end in Paris at the Arc
de Triomph on the Fourth of July (it begins on the 29th
of June)
June 11th through July 31st is the Paris Jazz Festival at
Parc Floral de Vincennes. Two jazz groups play every Saturday and Sunday. The festival is free, but you
have to pay a fee to enter the park. It is a popular picnic area, and perfect for families to listen to music
alongside the lake, but it is very popular so you should make sure to get there early. Certain weekends
have a special focus within the realm of jazz such as Latin jazz or funk and soul so pick out a weekend that
suits your taste.
One of the highlights of the summer is seeing the Bastille Day fireworks that will take place Thursday, July
14th. The best place to see the fireworks is on the Champ de Mars. Also on that day is the military parade
at the Champs-Elyses, and the night before the holiday there is dancing at Place de la Bastille.
Look out for Paris Plage (20th of July to the 21st of August) at the Voie Pompidou, the Bassin de la Villette,
and at the Parvis de lHtel de Ville
August 26th through September 3rd, the biggest short film festival in the city takes place. More than 100
films will be projected onto a big screen at Parc de la Butte du Chapeau Rouge, alongside live concerts,
exhibitions, and artist ateliers set up for kids and families.

red is the color of the Republicans and blue is the
color of the Democrats. The Republicans are the
party of the conservatives while the Democrats are
considered the party of the liberals. Republicans
ideals are popular among most of the Southern
states and states in Midwest, while the Democrats do
well with voters in the North and in the West of the
United States.

ISP at UNESCO
by Sophie Kane
Four ISP student were so fortunate to be witness, as well as
be part of, the launch of the Teach Her program by the U.S.
ambassador to UNESCO. It was an incredible experience to not
only be around so many ambassadors, Dr. Biden, and the DirectorGeneral of UNESCO, but also to experience the process of
launching this type of initiative. We were able to test the type of
activities that were to be used to encourage women to pursue
STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics)
based careers to repair the gender gap in these fields. We then
related the days activities to Dr. Biden and the Director-General of
UNESCO, Irina Bokova. We took pictures with both of them as well
as the American ambassador to UNESCO in front of about a dozen
flashing cameras. The press was escorted out of the room as we
were delighted to find out that we would be attending the lunch
that followed. We sat at beautifully arranged sets of round tables, a
table behind the Director-General and Dr. Biden, and ate a
delicious meal accompanied by speeches by both the women, and
the American ambassador to UNESCO, as well as other guests. The
food used elements of Ethiopian, Costa Rican, and American
cuisine as the project was being launched by the American
ambassador to UNESCO, and the first countries it will come to are
Ethiopia and Costa Rica. Representatives from both those countries
also attended the event. Following the event we were given gifts
from the White House staff, as well as one of the sponsors of the
event (Fitbit), and we were allowed to keep the lab coats that we
had worn for the day, emblazoned with the Teach Her logo on the
back.
I am very grateful that I was one of the few who was able
to attend this event, not only because of the prestige, but because
we were able to experience not only real-life, but real change being
put into place by people who have been able to create a platform
for themselves that allows them to initiate change, and that is
admirable. It was also inspiring to be encouraged to live up to our
utmost potential and to learn about all the other girls who would
be benefited by the program, alongside portraits of women,
champions of their STEM fields, hung on the walls around us. I
agree with what Dr. Biden said at the event, about every child
deserving someone to motivate them and push them to pursue
their goals and the idea of the program being able to provide that
for so many girls around the world was uplifting. I will continue to
follow the programs progress in the months to come as they begin
their journey around the world, hopefully giving other girls the
same inspirational experience that we were so fortunate to receive
that day.
