Demain commence en Australie, et partout dans le monde, la semaine de la francophonie !
Pour rappel, la journée internationale de la francophonie est le 20 mars. Cela fait malheureusement plusieurs année que cette date coincide avec des évènements internationaux qui prennent toute la place dans les médias australiens. Nous verrons bien si cette année ils parlent un peu de nous !
Celebration of Francophonie Week, March 17-24, 2005 Francophonie Week, a celebration of the French-speaking world will be held from March 17-24. In Australia, a number of events have been organised for Francophonie Week thanks to the involvement of a number of Diplomatic Missions and Alliance Françaises.
La Francophonie is the term used to describe the community of French-speaking countries, and from 17 to 24 March 2005, French-speaking and French-loving peoples across the world will celebrate the French language. The love of this language constitutes a link that brings together some 170 million French-speakers with the 500 million people who live in the 63 Member States and Governments of the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF).
The theme of 2005 Francophonie Week is "French, the language of scientific endeavour". This year we will also commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of author Jules Verne.

Thursday 17 March, 10.30am - Official launch
