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.)
