If you are in the metro area,I hope you will take advantage of this free event that runs through November 14th.

As one of the local community counselors for Au Pair In America,I’d like to encourage  host families and au pairs to  check out the program of events and participate in any of the venues offered at  some of the major local cultural institutions.

The largest children’s performing arts festival in the United States, the “Kids Euro Festival,” began its month-long run in Washington, D.C. on October 17. Offering over 200 free events, the annual program seeks to introduce the diversity of European culture to children and families from all over the area. Embassies of the 27 European Union member states will present a variety of activities, from mime acts and puppets to concerts and film screenings. The event was first created in 2008 to coincide with the French presidency of the European Union, and the French-American Cultural Foundation helps make the series possible.
