Contest jean de la fontaine - Francophonie month
Did you know that, this year, we are celebrating the 400th anniversary of the birth of Jean de La Fontaine? You must know this writer for his famous Fables!
We invite you to participate in a contest for kids in order to win a book of Joann Sfar's drawn illustrations of Jean de la Fontaine's fables!
If you are aged between 8 and 16 years old, if you like to draw and if you speak or learn French, then grab your pencils! Choose one fable of Jean de la Fontaine you like the most, write it down on one side, and draw its illustration on the other side.
To go with your drawing, write a short text in French that explains why did you choose this fable. Send your illustration (scan or good quality photo) and your text to info@afamsterdam.nl before April 30, 2021.
CULTUREThèque
WHAT IS CULTURETHEQUE?
Culturethèque is a digital portal for French cultural institutions located abroad and accessible anywhere in the world, except from France.
Thanks to Culturethèque, you are able to access numerous resources that can be downloaded or consulted online. Many works of French
literature are fully accessible to you, but also articles from the French press, music, online concerts, conferences, documentaries, comics,
children's literature, French language learning methods or even serious games.
‣ Immersive workshops in French
Immerse your students in a French environment with the Alliance Française! Discover our workshops for school: custom-made programmes to help
your students improve their communicating skills and to engage them into learning French through a stimulating
educational experience.
Diverse thematic workshops can be organised upon request, such as la Bande dessinée, youth
literature study, a treasure-hunt…
The programme will be planned with the teachers and will be adapted to the age and level of the students.
Example: Speak dating event during the French Language Day/Dag van de Franse taal (November 8th 2018).
This format allows the students to express themselves thanks to a stimulating, dynamic activity and without pressure.
Workshops can take place at your school or in our premises, at OBA Oosterdok.
Minimum 8 students per workshop, maximum 20.
