Eric Fusil: bridging worlds for a better future - from submarine defence expert to bilingual education leadership
Description
Welcome to today's episode, where I have the pleasure of chatting with Eric Fusil, a remarkable individual wearing many hats: naval architect, consultant, Associate Professor, and expert in submarine defence based in Adelaide. But Eric's Australian story goes beyond his professional expertise. When he, along with his wife and three young children, embarked on a new life in Australia in 2015, they faced a myriad of challenges. Yet, amidst the fresh start, Eric saw an opportunity for his children to experience life in an English-speaking country with a foreign culture while retaining their French roots. His passion for bilingual education led him to spearhead the introduction of a French language program in a public school in Adelaide.
Join us as Eric shares his journey, navigating the complexities of bringing his vision to life, all while embracing the humor and honesty that define his character. Tune in for a conversation filled with insight and generosity.
