What's on for this month?

Please find below the French & Francophone events in Boston and New England (co-sponsored or supported by the Consulate General of France in Boston).

 
Support a multilingual generation this holiday season with a donation to support French immersion in public schools across the country!

Your donation directly supports public schools and districts as they grow language immersion programs. That means opportunities for kids to learn French at a young age, helping them to attain fluency, opportunities to study abroad, and to one day become successful multilingual professionals.

Students who participate in dual language and immersion programs have shown increased academic outcomes, reduced dropout rates, and better cognitive functioning.
