The French Language in all of its Forms 2025

Come celebrate the French language and meet our grant recipients who bring French language to life in schools!

As every year, we invite you to our Francophone evening dedicated to the French language — French in All Its Forms — this time with a special focus on the impact of languages on the brain. 

On the program: discoveries, exchanges, and inspiring presentations about French and multilingualism.
