The International Month of Francophones

Back to French Teachers

 

 


    Le Mois de la francophonie

Used by over 200 million people and spoken on all 5 continents, the French language unites countries, institutions and individuals. The French-speaking community in different countries brings together people who speak French, a language of education, culture and communication, and who love French culture.

Since the 1970’s, the entire world has had a unique opportunity in March to appreciate and celebrate the culture of French speaking countries.
Throughout the month of March, festivals around the world celebrate the richness of Francophone cultures through cultural events and recognition.

 

The Alliance Française is pleased to be a support the following events in celebration of the International Month of Francophones:
