As our links with the rest of Africa and other French-speaking countries increase, so does the need for French-speaking professionals in various fields. We help those wanting to learn and those teaching French as a foreign language in South Africa, Lesotho and Malawi. The French Institute also offers internships, scholarships, further training grants and even educational resources and literature.

Agreement between DBE and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Department of education and the French language of the French Embassy in South Africa, Lesotho and Malawi is involved in Basic Education projects, following the signature of a bilateral agreement between the French Ministry of Education and Youth and the South African Department of Basic Education. This agreement, signed in Pretoria in February 2019, by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs Mr Le Drian and Mrs Sisulu strengthens the basic education cooperation in the fields of school leadership and governance, curriculum, vocational education, teaching of sciences, maths and technology, the teaching of French and nutrition education. The fight against bullying and cyberbullying and discrimination related to gender and sexual orientation has been added to the action plan by the Ministers of education after a meeting they had in March 2019. A delegation of 8 officials from the Department of Basic Education visited France in December 2019, in order to meet French partners and exchange expertise with their counterparts, in partnership with France Education International. Another visit is scheduled for June 2022.

The Occupying The Gallery / Occupying IFAS project, with an artist collective led by internationally acclaimed visual artists, Mary Sibande and Lawrence Lemoana, transforms art galleries into mentoring spaces for a dozen young creatives, offering a platform where artistic creation and learning come together. Their two occupations of IFAS were joined by Mosa Anita Kaiser, Hoek Swaratlhe, Lungile Ngcobo, Sphatho Mzantsi, Bongani Ndlovu, Tatenda Maisa, and Mlondi Magubane. From 16 April to 16 May and 22 to 30 July 2024, the creative platform on the first floor of IFAS was transformed into an artists' residency, positioning the Institute as a veritable creative hub for emerging artists and responding to the desire to support mentoring and training activities – a key focus of Occupying’s transformational agenda. In the first phase, the artists worked over a month-long residency to collectively produce artworks and prints, in collaboration with Artist Proof Studios, which were later presented at the RMB Latitudes Art Fair in Johannesburg from 23 to 26 May 2024. Upon their return to IFAS for a 10-day residency led by French visual artist, Hugues Anhēs, and independent exhibition coordinator and curator, Camille Gajate, joining from Paris through the support of Institut français in Paris and IFAS, the occupants produced Fahla Fahla!. ‘Fahla Fahla!’ is a colloquialism of the act of putting together, a touch, touch here and there, in bits and pieces. A drop of something short and sweet: adding and subtracting when needed to make a whole.
