Francophonie Days 2024 in Tunisia officially launched

TUNIS: The Francophonie Days 2024 in Tunisia were officially launched on Tuesday evening during an event organised by the Group of Francophone Ambassadors in Tunisia (GAF) at the City of Science in Tunis. Co-organised by the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF) Representation for North Africa and the Canadian Embassy in Tunis, the event was an opportunity to present the major activities planned in Tunisia over the coming weeks, highlighting the diversity, richness and vitality of the Francophonie. This year, the cultural activities will not be limited to March, but will extend over a longer period, in anticipation of the forthcoming Summit of the Francophonie in Villers-Cotterêts, France, on October 4 and 5, 2024, on the theme "Create, innovate and do business in French". The Agency for Cultural and Technical Cooperation was created in 1970. It later became the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF), of which Tunisia was a founding member. The activities of the 2024 Francopho nie Days in Tunisia are in line with the 2024-2027 programming of the OIF, adopted in Yaoundé on November 3 and 4, 2023 during the 44th Ministerial Conference of the Francophonie (CMF). This is the first programme proposed by Secretary General, Louise Mushikiwabo, since she took office. It highlights the role of the French language in culture, education, democracy, governance and sustainable development, and includes twenty projects focused on tangible results to meet the needs of Francophone populations.
