Founded in Paris in 1883, the Alliance Française created a worldwide network of more than 1160 non-profit organisations established now in 131 countries. Its mission is to promote France’s heritage and language as well as to encourage the discovery of its contemporary productions in order to create a cultural dialogue between the cultures of France and the hosting country.

Placed under the jurisdiction of the Consulate General of France in 1982, the Alliance Française in Dubai was built in 1993/94 on a piece of land offered by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and U.A.E. Minister of Defense, and it is known as the best place to learn French.

L'agenda

The First Francophone Magazine in the GCC!

Pan Arab Publication (Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, UAE)

 

This initiative is the fruit of a partnership between the Alliance française of Bahrain and BPIC, a company specialized in publishing, event promotion and advertising. L’agenda  is a cultural magazine, free to all readers, with the ambition to federate the cultural institutions of the region and create a visibility for the Francophone and Francophile communities of the Gulf.

 

Every other month, the publication’s editorial highlights major cultural, social and business facts, events and developments both within the GCC and the international francophone news. It regularly presents as well initiatives of French speakers living in the region. And the brochure finally lists all activities promoted by French cultural centers established in the GCC.

To enable non-French speakers to also have access to the information, L’agenda proposes articles either translated into Arabic or English.

 

 

The cultural brochure is circulating throughout the whole region

- Distributed in conjunction with all active French

  institutions (Embassies, Consulates, Alliances

  Francaises, Centres Culturels Francais, etc.)

- Along with prominent local newspapers (Bahrain

  Tribune / Al Wasat / Peninsula Qatar, etc.)

- Through direct personal mailing (continuously updated

  databases)

- Display in social and trendy places (restaurants,

  cafes, hotels, hospitals, embassies, schools, universities

  and other governmental premises, cultural centers,

  corporate venues, airports, malls, supermarkets, airlines,

  etc.)

- Display on the sites of major regional events or

  gatherings (Bahrain Grand Prix / Spring of Culture, etc.)
