Pardon my French! Vous comprenez ce que je dis? Well, anyway ... Kaboom is collaborating with the Groupe des Ambassades francophones (GAF) from the Netherlands on a programme with animated shorts from several Francophone countries. And of course, you also get to mingle with people in your best French!
The Francophonie brings together 88 countries & over 321 million French speakers across five continents and aims to develop cooperation in the field of politics, education, economy and culture (yes, animation!) between member states for the benefit of their societies.
La soirée Kaboom X Francophonie est organisée par le festival Kaboom et le Groupe des ambassadeurs francophones des Pays-Bas, avec le soutien des ambassades du Cameroun, du Canada, de la Côté d’Ivoire, du Maroc, de la Roumanie, du Sénégal, de la Tunisie, les Délégations générales du Québec et de Wallonie-Bruxelles, l’Institut français NL, l’Alliance Française de La Haye et le lycée Vincent van Gogh. Avec le soutien de TV5Monde.
La soirée est en français. La projection sera suivie d’une conversation avec le public, avec Alice Saey et modérée par Hélène Pichon, Directrice de l’Alliance Française de La Haye.
