French Cultural Events

for Everyone

Students of all ages perform in a school show as part of French cultural events

DMUM’s cultural events are where language steps off the page and into the real world. Our French cultural events help children and families stay connected to the French language and Francophone identity while living abroad.

From interactive workshops to seasonal celebrations, every event reinforces oral fluency, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Events are open to all DMUM members.

Activities with Education in Mind

Throughout the school year, our events give children new ways to use French beyond the classroom. Through movement, storytelling, creativity, and hands-on discovery, students apply what they’ve learned in real-world situations. Each event is designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and rooted in purposeful learning.

Diver’Cité - 2025–2026 Academic Year

Diver’Cité is DMUM’s 2025–2026 cultural project — a year-long initiative exploring identity, diversity, and language through storytelling, media, and creative expression. Designed for students of all ages, the project invites them to share their voices and connect through Francophone culture. Many of this year’s events are part of Diver’Cité.

Awareness Workshop

Description

The bi-monthly language development workshop for children aged 2 to 6 is based on children’s picture books and fun activities to help them learn and practice language skills, develop oral communication abilities, and discover the world of written language from a very young age (either before or in addition to enrolling in the French language courses). This includes activities such as nursery rhymes, simple games, dances, and visual vocabulary exercises.
