Alliance Françaises put culture at the core of its mission, promoting dialogue through French and Francophone creativity, rooted in local communities.
Each Alliance builds its own cultural program, fostering exchange and reflecting both local needs and global Francophone connections.
From arts to innovation, Alliances showcase today’s French-speaking cultures and engage with the world’s pressing issues.
Beyond events, each Alliance is a hub where people come together to share language, ideas, and cultural experiences.
Founded in 1883, the Alliance Française is the world’s largest cultural network, welcoming nearly 500,000 students and over 3 million participants each year through French classes and vibrant cultural programming on five continents.
Each Alliance is a locally run nonprofit, rooted in its community and united by a shared passion: promoting the French language and celebrating the diversity of Francophone cultures. From film nights and concerts to art exhibitions, workshops, and conversations, every event invites people to connect, explore, and enjoy.
The Alliance is also a place to engage with today’s world—its creativity, its challenges, and its many voices. With a focus on innovation, openness, and shared discovery, it brings people together through culture, learning, and meaningful exchange.
