HISTORY
The origins of Nacel date to l957, when two language teachers from France began organizing summer sessions in England for French teenagers. Their goal was to provide opportunities for students to extend language learning and knowledge of another culture through a well-organized and affordable summer program. During the sixties these programs grew steadily and spread to Ireland. In l969, the organizers decided to ask some American teachers of French to arrange a summer homestay program for French teenagers in the United States. Over succeeding years, programs with Germany, Spain, Mexico, and Canada were added.
Since 1957, Nacel's programs have provided young people with the opportunity to discover new things about themselves and the world around them.
Nacel's programs bring people together to enhance cultural and linguistic awareness and to promote international friendship and harmony. Nacel's offices around the world recognize the fundamental importance of adherence to a set of values based on respect for an individual regardless of race, gender, ethnic origin and social or financial status.
