For several years, France has been engaged in a series of reciprocal Seasons with its key international partners (China, Japan, India, Turkey, Russia and Brazil among others).
With South Africa, this will be the first time that a sub-Saharan country is involved in the Seasons with France. The goal of these Seasons is to improve mutual understanding and contribute to the diversification of France's image in South Africa and South Africa's image in France by emphasizing the modernity and values that the two countries share.
The French Season in South Africa is both a festive period with a wide range of over 70 different projects, performances and initiatives planned across South Africa and an opportunity to reinforce a wide range of existing collaborations and to build a lasting legacy for both nations.
Cultural events will be combined with a wide array of events in other fields: innovation, science and technology, higher education, business, tourism, sport, and language with the involvement of many different actors.
