Events
In March 2026, as part of the Francophonie Festival, the annual worldwide French language campaign "Dis-moi dix mots" (Tell Me Ten Words), organized by the French Ministry of Culture and Francophone partners (Belgium, Quebec, Switzerland), will focus on the theme "A World to Come" or, in French, "à un monde à venir," emphasizing anticipation.
The ten French words—alunir, anticipation, continuum, dystopique, humanoïde, particule, programmer, sidéral, théorie, and transmuter—will inspire you to ponder the future and reinvent it!
The Festival will welcome two guest of honor with the support of the Canadian Consulate, the Quebec office, the Swiss Consulate, and the French Consulate in Hong Kong and Macao : Guy Delisle and Elisa Shua Dusapin.
