For the past few years, the French Institute of Finland and the French Embassy have been offering a grant to celebrate the work of French teachers in Finland (from grades 1 to 12). Our aim is to value the teaching profession, support you in bringing your ideas to life and sharing them, and to foster connections and exchanges among French teachers throughout Finland.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teachers who submit a project must agree, if selected as one of the five grant recipients, to present their project at the French Institute of Finland (Tehtaankatu 27\u201329 D) during the event on T<\/span>hursday, November 27, 2025, between 5:00 PM and 6:20 PM<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GOALS OF THE PROJET<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teachers can propose a project involving their students, aimed at improving their language skills, promoting the French language or culture, increasing awareness of the Francophone world, and more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The project can be something already completed or an upcoming initiative \u2014 such as a language trip \u2014 and may take many forms: a presentation, report, display, exhibition, mini-performance, classroom activity, Francophone-themed evening, etc. There are no limits to your creativity! To be eligible, the project must be carried out with your class.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your project should aim to promote the French language within your school and share your passion for it with as many people as possible. It does not need to be fully developed in order to be submitted. A project that is still in the planning stage may be proposed, as long as it is described in sufficient detail.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
