Vision and Values
Alliance Française Halifax is a Language Training/Cultural Centre that promotes French language through inclusive and affordable quality courses as well as cultural/community events. We also actively promote values and actions that support social, environmental and democratic responsibility.
Like pollinators, we spread the good stuff and make connections matter for the well being of our local and global community (human and other). We bee-lieve that diversity (bio and other) is essential. Linguistic diversity is a part of that as well ! We are filled with joie de vivre and want to celebrate and stand up for what we love: our planet and the environment.
Reorienting our priorities since 2017, planting seeds for partnerships and harvesting collaborations with like-minded non-for-profit, charities and cultural associations.
Ongoing energy and building improvements, creation of active social and environmental responsibility committee that reviews and updates our priorities annually.
As a part of Alliance Française's network, the largest international network of cultural language schools with a global, humanist and environmental vision, we were thankful to receive a training that was geared toward the cultural sector. The online training offered practical approaches to integrate important values in our daily-operation. Here is the link: MOOC "La RSO, enjeux et bonnes pratiques" (training is in French - we can help you reach your objectives in terms of learning French).
The theme of 2025-2026 season would be "resilience".
