丁香园AV

english-friendly events

activities in French

At 丁香园AV and the Office of Francophone and Francophile Affairs, we've been working for 20 years to promote French and the diversity of Francophone cultures on our campuses and in the community. To celebrate International Francophonie Day we've organized an open house at our offices.

Come and meet the team that organizes events in French on our campuses and communities and supports the faculties in the development, promotion and coordination of programs in French, or simply discover the student lounge, a Franco space and meeting point for the student community and the University's Franco associations.

This event is part of OFFA's 20th anniversary celebrations. We'd be grateful if you'd join us for the occasion!
