Presenting Indian Culture

The first slide of my powerpoint presentation :)
Finally something constructive to do! A well known Business School in the North of France has invited me to make a presentation on Indian culture. I had worked on a similar project with one of the business schools in Normandy. This time the theme is "Beyond Cultural Barriers: Business in Modern India". I love the idea of taking down cultural boundaries and I jumped at the offer when it came my way! But as always something exciting in France, will come with tons of paperwork. The seminar is taking place for three days only and I'm supposed to submit a
  1. Curriculum Vitae  
  2. a RIB (bank identification) 
  3. copy of passport 
  4. copy of "carte de séjour" (legal staying permit) 
  5. copy of social security card 
  6. copy of "authorisation de travail" delivered by the Prefect of Police 
  7. Salary slip (if working elsewhere) 
  8. Diplomas and school certificates translated in French ?
  9. "Authorization to undertake extra work" from current employer ?
  10. And finally the most confusing/entertaining of the lot, "un extrait de casier judiciaire" which is basically a background police check done after you put in your application for the document online. The confusing thing though is that the document is given only to people born on French soil. How does one work around this ???
Et voilà the documents required to make a powerpoint presentation in France! oui, c'est la vie!
