Actions Thematiques d'Excellence action(s) for excellence Explanation: I think you need something short and punchy here, especially if the phrase is repeated many times. If you try to translate "thématiques", it will just muddy the waters. I prefer action in the singular, but it's up to you. |

Actions Thematiques d'Excellence Excellence Actions Explanation: Croyez-vous que "Excellence actions" puisque ce sont des actions direcement reliées à l'excellence proprement dit? "Actions for excellence" est un de ceux que je retiens également. Par contre, je tente parfois d'utiliser le possessif lorsque possible. Pour ce qui est de "thématiques" il n'est pas facilement adaptable. Mais je dirais que "Excellence thematic actions" est probablement ce qui agresse le moins mon oreille du moins ;0) !!! |

Thematic Programs for Excellence Explanation: That's "programs" in US spelling. (My US audience prefers "progam" even when "programme" occurs in NGO titles.) But I think ther possibilities exist for actions in this context, for instance "initiatives" or perhaps even "strategies": – Thematic Initiatives for Excellence – Thematic Strategies for Excellence. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2010-12-31 14:26:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As may be already clear, I see nothing wrong with "thematic" in this context. For what it's worth, try googling "thematic programs" (with quote marks), etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day4 hrs (2010-12-31 21:27:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops, typo – probably obvious – the 2nd paragraph should say "I think other possibilities exist..." |

Subject/Topic/Theme-related/based Actions for Excellence Explanation: Yes, I feel the same as you about words like "thematic" and don't think "program" is good here anyway as these actions are part of the program. I don't think you can omit it though so these might work instead. e.g Theme-based Action for Excellence: Prioritizing Planet Sustainability OR (Sustainable Planet a Priority) No doubt about "actions for excellence" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days8 hrs (2011-01-02 01:20:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- by B Dermody - 2004 Dermody, Brenda:Improving Student Learning Through Theme Based Curriculum Design and Team Teaching: An Action Research Study.
