Francophonie, a driver of global transformation
“Making a Better World”: the Francophonie Festival invites artists, thinkers, researchers and entrepreneurs from all over the world to answer this pressing call to dream, reflect and take action.
In a fractured world, threatened by climate, geopolitical, technological and economic challenges, these inventors and architects reveal the power in sharing the French language, as matter for creation, invention and emotion, a tool for thought and dialogue, and a driver of cooperation and solidarity.
From March to October 2024, all around the world, 40 countries and more than 500 organizations, not to mention the spontaneous proposals, are getting stuck in, celebrating a living, inventive Francophonie, open to the plurality of other languages. May the diversity of the initiatives born of this movement, and the power of inspiration of the personalities brought together during this period, enlighten us and give us all strength to take action, individually and collectively, to repair, reinvent and re-enchant the world.”
