What kind of cultural activities are organized in the ABEI program?
Regular cultural workshops with French singers, actors and lecturers are offered in ABEI elementary schools. Some are directly selected from the Alliance Française’s own cultural programs while others were specifically organized for ABEI. Ex: Gilles Ellkaïm (a solo French explorer of the Eurasian Arctic), Plantu (French cartoonist of Le Monde Newspaper), Les Acrostiches (renowned French acrobats), Jean Clottes( paleontologist), Dee Dee Bridgewater (jazz singer). These cultural activities are a key to opening students’ minds, raising their curiosity and encouraging them to learn French.
