Francophonie Festival in Thailand 2025
Celebrate the Francophonie Festival in Thailand this March!
Every March, Francophonie is celebrated worldwide, bringing together millions of people who share a love for the French language and its cultural diversity. Through workshops, debates, conferences, exhibitions, and various cultural events, the festival highlights key Francophone values such as peace, solidarity, and cultural diversity
This year, the Embassy of Morocco in Thailand is coordinating the festival in partnership with Alliance Française Bangkok and the Embassies and Delegations of Belgium, Canada, France, Kosovo, Luxembourg, Mexico, Romania, Switzerland, and Ukraine, along with their partners. Together, they invite you to join a month of cultural activities and festivities from March 7 to March 30, 2025.
The French Language in Thailand: A Growing Influence
With over 300,000 Francophones and more than 50,000 students learning French, Thailand continues to strengthen its ties to the French language and culture. In the country, French is the third most-studied foreign language in Thailand, following English and Mandarin. The Francophonie Festival 2025 reflects this dynamic by providing a platform for cultural exchange, education, and shared experiences through the French language.
