La Francophonie en question !
Initiated in 2016, the Night of Ideas has quickly become a fixture of the French and international agenda. This year, the chosen theme is “More? ".
At the Alliance Française Mpls/St Paul, we’ve decided to talk this year about Francophonie and reveal ‘‘More and more’’ visages de la Francophonie represented in Minnesota.
The French language has been spoken in modern-day Minnesota since the 17th century, being the first European language to be brought to the area. In present-day Minnesota, French is kept alive through bilingual education options and French-language classes in universities and schools.
Let's highlight the diversity of French-speaking cultures represented in Minnesota through presentations and panel discussions with testimonies by representatives from some French speaking countries... followed by some specialties from French-speaking countries and francophone influenced DJ music to bring our community together!
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to meet fellow Francophones here in Minnesota!!
