Lets celebrate our ACCENT
This panel aims to highlight the Month of Francophonie in Alberta 2024. We are excited to present some of the resources available for teachers to organize activities in schools during this month.
We welcome the ACFA, provincial advocacy organization dedicated to the development and defense of the interests of Francophones in relation to governments. ACFA also offers local programming of activities and services through its regional offices.
Additionally, we have the pleasure of hosting the Alberta Francophone Artistic Grouping (RAFA), established in 2001. It is the official advocacy organization for arts and culture of French expression in Alberta. RAFA connects, supports, and promotes the professionalization, growth, and vitality of the Alberta artistic community.

This year, the ACFA will once again act as the coordinator for the Rendez-vous de la Francophonie 2024 in Alberta.
The Rendez-vous de la Francophonie (RVF) is part of the cultural events surrounding the international Day of the Francophonie (March 20), organized annually to promote the French language and its various expressions across canada. March has been declared the Month of Francophonie in Alberta since March 1, 2018.
The ACFA specifically supports the organization of Franco-Albertan flag-raising ceremonies held in several regions of the province on the first Friday of March.
