French Language Child Pass

ENROL NOW ENROL NOW

A new and free initiative for French kids


Launched by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs upon presidential request, the French Language Child Pass (PELF) aims to provide free opportunities for French children living abroad, who are distant from the French language, to reconnect with French.

As of now, the pilot program is being conducted for one year in 2024-2025 in 14 target countries and is managed by 22 Alliances Françaises or Instituts Français.

The program is offered to children who:

Are aged 6 to 11 years.
Hold French nationality.
Are not enrolled in a French educational institution.
Do not practice or rarely practice French, either at school or even in daily life.
Reside in Australia and are listed in the Register of French Citizens Living Abroad.*


*If the child is not yet registered in the Register, this should not be an obstacle to enrolling for PELF.
 
The registration can be completed quickly online
 (more information here). Please ensure that you complete the registration before enrolling for PELF.
