About Us
The Alliance Française Amsterdam was originally founded in 1895 and was one of the first created among this international network. The AFA
was a main cultural actor in Amsterdam with a large programme of conferences at that time, and took part in the creation of the
“Concours de la Chanson Française” through her president, and professional singer Henriette Tuker. This is in 2017 that
the Alliance Francaise Amsterdam re-emerged and intended to be a main actor in Amsterdam for all the French and Francophone culture.
With 540 students in 2021 and more than 150 members, the Alliance Française Amsterdam keeps growing. French and Dutch courses, for everybody and for all levels, are taught by an educational team composed of 27 experienced teachers.
Besides, more than 80 cultural events are organized every year by the
Alliance Française Amsterdam. Our cultural program is very diverse, with face to face and online events, such as Café and Apéro
conversation, screenings of fictions and documentaries, concerts, conferences or workshops.
