National French Week 2023: November 1-8, 2023

Theme: All around me, la francophonie!

The AATF is pleased to announce its organization of the twenty-first annual National French Week. This week-long celebration of all things French will take place in schools and communities and AATF chapters across the U.S. from November 1-8, 2023. We ask members and any other interested Francophones and Francophiles to take French out of the classroom and demonstrate all the reasons to learn French.

 

Ideas:

We have identified major themes for each day of National French Week, and we encourage teachers to celebrate as many of them as possible.

We encourage you to consult the index of the National Bulletin for Small Grant Reports and témoignages regarding success National French Week activities.
