Director’s Desk

Bonjour!

Welcome to Alliance française, Panjim, a non-profit organization which is part of the worldwide network of Alliances françaises founded in Paris in 1883 with the mission to promote the French language and culture around the world. Today, the non-profit cultural organization now features 834 branches in 132 countries.

Founded in 2007, Alliance française, Panjim (AFP) is dedicated to fostering an intercultural dialogue and amicable relations between France and Goa. Located in the neighbourhood of Altinho, AFP is now Goa’s leading French language and a cultural centre, annually training hundreds of students of all ages at all levels in the French language thanks to its unique methodology, teaching tools and its passionate team of teachers.

In Goa, AFP is also the only accredited examination centre for the DELF and the DALF, internationally recognized official diplomas in French awarded by the French Ministry of Education.

In part of its vision to introduce French and the opportunities that it opens up, AFP is partnering with schools, universities and companies across Goa. Complementing its linguistic curriculum, AFP organizes cultural events open to the general public throughout the year, including shows, screenings, conferences and more.

I invite you to learn French, a language that is spoken by 274 million people worldwide and is also an official language in 32 countries or to become a member, which gives you access to a wide range of resources through our library and enjoy our cultural activities.

Looking forward to meeting you!
