Home — Culture & Life

Culture & life at the Alliance

A packed cultural agenda all year, a rich library, and a cafeteria that feels like home.

Cultural activities

At the Alliance Française, culture is the heartbeat of the place. We organise workshops and activities that strengthen the shared values of the French and Palestinian peoples, in an atmosphere of warmth and fun.

Current programmes: literary talks, music and film screenings, the "language café", art exhibitions, hiking and sports trips, and cooking workshops
Coming ambitions: theatre, circus, robotics, or dabkeh and folk dance classes — driven by your interests
Where we meet: at our centre or across the city, with schools, universities and partner centres
