French Ambassador to the UK visits NCLE Language Hub

On Monday 18 March, the Institut français du Royaume-Uni and Ambassador Hélène Duchêne launched Francophonie on the Road. 

This initiative, created to support the National Consortium for Languages Education, a Department for Education programme aimed at promoting foreign modern language learning in England, will offer students from 20 state schools the opportunity to take part in a series of activities promoting the French language.

In March 2024, the roadshow stopped in 5 locations: Newcastle, Lincoln, Birmingham, Solihull and Cheltenham. The first stop was Cardinal Hume Catholic School, NCLE Tyne to Tees Language Hub. Check out the video below to see what this exciting visit involved.

You can learn more about Francophonie on the Road here and the Francophonie Festival here.
