It is becoming a tradition to celebrate the Francophonie Day at UFAZ.

Our students are preparing special performances to celebrate the Day of Francophonie: celebration of French language and French culture. 

Francophonie represents one of the biggest linguistic zones in the world. Its members share more than just a common language. They also share the humanist values promoted by the French language. The French language and its humanist values represent the two cornerstones on which the International Organisation of La Francophonie is based.
