Information & updates about the Foundation and its programs |
|
Sharing knowledge and experiences is more important than ever. Although the COVID crisis demanded changes to our gatherings' usual in-person format one year ago, the French-American Foundation remains committed to advancing the dialogue between France and the United States.
FAF staff have been working hard to provide the same high-quality programming to attendees in a virtual environment. We're so proud of our online webinars' success, and we're excited to offer you even more in the weeks to come!
This spring you can expect discussions on today's transatlantic relationship; the issues and evolutions in air and space and women's leadership in STEM; the current state of the arts and culture sector; one decade since the Arab Spring in 2011 and the trends that will shape this region and its relations with the United States and Europe; and populist movements in the United States and France. All of these topics will be presented, discussed, and moderated.
Please click here for our new spring calendar and sign up for events you would like to attend.
Thank you for your support!
