Song dictations at the Francofolies de la Rochelle
Making a Better World, the Francophonie Festival joined forces with the Francofolies in La Rochelle and 1 Hebdo to organize song dictations from 11 to 13 July.
From March to October 2024, the Francophonie Festival, Making a Better World, and its partners are holding a series of events in France and elsewhere in the world. Central to these Resonances is a shared aim and ambition: celebrating the rich diversity of the Francophone world, which is more vibrant than ever.
Echoing the values of the Festival, these offshoot events or Resonances highlight collective projects that promote the use of French while addressing major societal issues. This exceptional initiative includes 150 events in 40 countries all over the world, with support from over 500 partners. These initiatives – whether they be cultural, social, entrepreneurial, scientific, artistic or societal – celebrate Francophonie and its global impact; a real opportunity to deepen and enrich discussion ahead of the “Journées d’Octobre” (October Days).
The Resonances of the Festival have therefore joined up with multiple flagship events in France, some of which are already in full swing:
From 4 to 6 October the Fête de la Science, a festival organized by Universcience, will offer various activities focusing on the French-speaking scientific community – with participants coming from Benin, Martinique and Belgium, for example
From Berlin to Montreal, the Resonances are also going global with events that are as exciting as they are diverse and deeply rooted in our society:
Lastly, Refaire le monde en français intends to work in Cambodia, Laos and Viet Nam to raise local high school students’ awareness of climate challenges by organizing meetings with stakeholders in sustainable development.
But with shows, exhibitions, conferences, workshops, competitions, concerts and other activities all taking place ahead of the Journées d’Octobre, don’t miss out on the events held for the Francophonie Festival!
