The 27th French activity month was held in Beijing.

The press conference of the 27th French activity month was held in Beijing, and Li Na officially served as the publicity ambassador for the 27th French activity month.

The French Cultural Center works closely with the agencies of the member countries of French-speaking countries and regional organizations in China to coordinate the 27th French language activity month. Throughout March, activities will be carried out all over the country. Through this cross-cutting event, we hope to highlight the linguistic and cultural diversity of French, the common values conveyed by French and the friendships established by people around the world through French.

French is spoken by 321 million people on five continents, which is the world's fourth largest online language and the third largest business language. For the thousands of Chinese who study and work in French-speaking countries every year, French is even more about their future. As a language with rich cultural and literary heritage, French won the Nobel Prize for Literature together with Anne Ernoe in 2022. In the spring of 2023, the French International City in Willes Cottrette will be unveiled, becoming an exclusive space for French and French culture.

In the coming 27th French activity month, we look forward to leading the Chinese public to appreciate the richness and variety of the French world through a series of activities. There are cultural activities, such as the gathering of French films, the Poet's Spring around poetry, the Chinese selection of the Gonggul Literature Award, and food lessons. There is also no shortage of sports activities, such as the 500-day countdown relay race for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, or scientific exchanges, such as science cocktails. In addition, the five fierce competitions of songs, speeches, poetry readings, performances and French cultural competitions will add suspense and excitement to the French month.

The event is open to everyone. Whether you speak French or not, whether you are learning French, or just out of curiosity, you are welcome, because participation is important. "participation" is the theme of this French activity month. Look forward to exploring the charm of French language and culture with you!
