Bonjour!
L’Alliance française a de nouveau pignon sur rue à Sydney. Elle a retrouvé le 257 Clarence Street et cette adresse est bien la seule chose qui reste de l’ancien centre. Pour le reste, tout est nouveau. Le succès de la soirée Portes Ouvertes du 1er octobre a confirmé la curiosité du public et une forte adhésion à ce nouvel espace culturel. Notre ambition est d’offrir à tous les amis de la langue et de la culture françaises et francophones les meilleures conditions pour satisfaire leur passion. Profitant de son déménagement, l’Alliance française s’est dotée d’une nouvelle signature graphique en adoptant l’élégant ruban tricolore qui nous relie et nous anime. Elle a également créé un nouveau site internet et une nouvelle lettre d’informations. Des nouveaux cours vous sont proposés qui utilisent les tableaux blancs interactifs dont l’Alliance française s’est équipée et nous invitons nos membres à des nouveaux rendez-vous pour pratiquer le français dans le cadre de rencontres sur l’actualité et la littérature. La médiathèque recevra bientôt les romans de la rentrée littéraire mais aussi des livres pour les enfants, des textes lus, des livres pour les étudiants de la langue française, un bel arrivage de films et de chansons françaises. Novembre c’est aussi la fête du Beaujolais Nouveau. L’été fut chaud, sec et ensoleillé, le vin devrait être bon.
The Alliance Française has settled into its new centre in Sydney. The only reminder of the old building is the address, everything else is new. The success of the Open Day on the 1st October confirmed that there is interest in the community and strong support for our new cultural space. Our aim is to offer to all friends of the Alliance and lovers of French language and culture the best conditions in which to indulge their passion. Taking advantage of the move, the Alliance Francaise has created a new look with a brand graphic identity which incorporates a red, white and blue ribbon that unites and animates us. We have also created a new website and newsletter. New courses are also being offered, making use of the new interactive white boards which have been installed in classrooms. We invite members to come and practice their French by joining the new conversation groups on current affairs and literature. The Media Centre will soon be receiving new novels, children’s books, books for French language students, as well as a good stock of films and French music. November is also the celebration of the Beaujolais Nouveau. The summer was hot, dry and sunny; the wine should be good!
