Launching the "MUSIC FOR PEACE" album featuring works by renowned composers and pianists.
youtube
On Sunday, 31 March, to close out the month of French Language Day and International Women’s Day, the UN Chamber Music Society will be launching the MUSIC FOR PEACE album featuring works by renowned composer and pianist Gabriel Fauré, dedicated to helping to eliminate violence against women and girls.
On this occasion, to help combat sexual violence against women and girls, the UN Chamber Music Society will dedicate this album to the tireless efforts of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Denis Mukwege, who has bravely committed his life to helping to eliminate violence against women. Denis Mukwege grew up in the town of Bukavu in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He trained as a doctor and became a gynecologist after studying in France. In 1999, he established the Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, where he and his staff have treated the injuries of thousands of women victims of sexual violence. Many millions of people have been killed, abused or forced to flee in the civil wars that have ravaged the DRC since the 1990s. All parties to the conflict have used the rape of women as a weapon to humiliate and weaken their opponents. Dr. Mukwege has become one of the world’s leading experts on the treatment of internal injuries suffered by women subjected to gang rape. He has carried out countless operations, working long days of up to 18 hours. Quite remarkably, and as a testament to his fundamental human spirit, he was in the operating room when he was told that he had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
MUSIC FOR PEACE is an album which serves as a catalyst for reflection, healing and renewed commitment to he ideals of the United Nations. It features the piano legend Jerome Lowenthal – a virtuoso of the fingers and the emotions, and who has served as the piano chair of the Juilliard School. Founded in 2016 by Brenda Vongova, the UN Chamber Music Society is dedicated to promoting the United Nations’ goals and values at large - through the universal language of music.

Dis-moi dix mots sur le podium
The Semaine de la langue française et de la Francophonie (Francophonie Week) is an annual event launched in 1995 by the French Ministry of Culture.
It takes place every year around 20 March, International Francophonie Day.
“On the podium”: a new theme for 2024
Francophonie Week 2024 runs from 16 to 24 March. This week is an opportunity to celebrate the French language through a wide range of events organised throughout France and abroad.
Since 1896, French has been the official language of the Olympic Games, along with English. This is enshrined in Article 23 of the Olympic Charter thanks to Pierre de Coubertin, the founding father of the modern Olympic Games and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The Paris 2024 Games, taking place from 26 July to 8 September, are an opportunity to celebrate the French language around the world.
The Francophonie Week 2024 is an opportunity to discover and appropriate the words of sport and the vocabulary of Olympism through the theme “On the podium”.
Indeed, words have always accompanied sport. For example, every sport has written rules. Expressions from the world of sport are also common in the French language: “larguer les amarres”, “le nez dans le guidon”, “passer le relais”, etc.
Alliance Française de Bordeaux, actor of the Francophonie Week 2024 with the “Dis-moi dix mots” writing competition
To celebrate the French language, the Alliance Française Bordeaux Nouvelle-Aquitaine has been organising a poetry-writing competition called “Dis-moi dix mots” for over 10 years, in collaboration with the Gironde Departmental Education Services.
Run by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education, “Dis-moi dix mots” is a nationwide campaign that invites everyone to play with and express themselves artistically using 10 words from the language of Molière, on a different theme each year. (http://www.dismoidixmots.culture.fr/). In partnership with the DSDEN de la Gironde, the Alliance Française de Bordeaux quickly seized on this project to organise a poetry-writing competition for its international students and pupils from local primary schools.
Entitled “Dis-moi dix mots sur le podium”, this year’s edition invited participants to make the vocabulary of sport and Olympism their own, with reference to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The expected words were “adrénaline”, “champion”, “collectif”, “échappée”, “faux départ”, “hors-jeu”, “prouesse”, “mental”, “s’encorder” and “aller aux oranges”.
This 14th edition of the competition was a great success, with almost 400 texts received. They come from 35 classes in 19 primary schools in the Bordeaux area, as well as students from the Alliance Française and language assistants from the department.
On Tuesday 19 March, the Alliance Française will reveal all the winning texts. These will be put to voice and performed on stage by two actors from the Theater company l’Œil, Jean-Pierre Terracol and Nicole Cazaux.
Francophonie in everyday life at AF Bordeaux
More than 2,000 students of over 127 nationalities come to the Alliance Française de Bordeaux every year to study French. The school is a benchmark for the teaching of the French language, the dissemination of French-speaking cultures and dialogue between the world’s cultures.
In addition to its wide range of French courses (intensive, one-to-one, online, themed workshops, etc.), the school offers cultural activities to promote French culture to all its students and more! The AFBNA belongs to the international network of Alliances Françaises, which comprises over 800 associations in more than 135 countries. Exchanges often take place between the Alliances Françaises.
Such is the case with our exchange with the AF of Málaga in Spain, scheduled for Thursday 21 March during the Semaine de la Francophonie 2024. The idea is for students to be able to talk to each other in French. But also share their experiences language learning within their respective AF. This type of activity is an opportunity to continue to grow and consolidate the Francophone community.
Francophonie Week 2024 runs from 16 to 24 March. This week is an opportunity to celebrate the French language through a wide range of events .

Francophonie Week is the event for the lovers of French words in France and abroad.
Like every year, the Semaine de la langue française et de la Francophonie is the event lovers of words in France and abroad. Organised around 20 March, the International Day of La Francophonie, this edition proposes to discover and appropriate the words of sport and the vocabulary of Olympism, through a theme: «On the podium».
Because words accompany sport. Every sport has its rules written down. Expressions from the sports world are legion in the French language (cast off, nose in the handlebars, pass the relay, etc.). Great speeches have transcended teams and reversed the course of a game. Sport is a game, like playing with words. As sport goes global, the challenge is also to defend the place of the French language.
Once again this year, the Tell me ten words » also looks at the words of sport, chosen by the Department’s francophone partners, and calls on the general public to propose artistic and literary creations around of the following words : “Sport is not only good for health. It instills values of respect (play together, tie up) and surpassing oneself (adrenaline rush, go on a breakaway, perform feats, become champion). Sport is also about determination (the mind), it is also the acceptance of the rules (the false start, the offside) and the need for a break (go orange).”
Discover all the highlights of French Language and Francophonie Week 2024.
Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games (July 26 to September 8) is a golden opportunity to celebrate the French language around the world.

Qu’est-ce qui vous a incité à rejoindre les services linguistiques de l’ONU ?
Deux choses m’ont fait choisir ma carrière actuelle à l’ONU. D’abord, la possibilité de me mettre au service de la communauté internationale en devenant fonctionnaire international. Ensuite, ma passion pour les langues. En effet, mon métier, qui me procure une grande satisfaction intellectuelle, me permet d’utiliser plusieurs langues quotidiennement et de me former continuellement.

Comment avez-vous appris les langues que vous utilisez dans votre métier ?
Dès l’enfance, j’ai toujours été très intriguée par la façon dont les gens communiquaient. Il me semblait incroyable que l’on puisse utiliser différentes langues pour exprimer la même idée. J’ai commencé à apprendre l’anglais quand j’étais enfant parce que je voulais voyager partout dans le monde. Après avoir obtenu un diplôme en économie, j’ai suivi des études supérieures en interprétation. Depuis, je n’ai jamais cessé d’utiliser le chinois et l’anglais dans le cadre de mon activité professionnelle.

Qu’est-ce qui vous a incitée à rejoindre les services linguistiques de l’ONU ?
Travailler pour l’ONU est une source d’inspiration, quel que soit le poste que l’on occupe. Les professionnels des langues bâtissent des ponts qui facilitent la communication et la compréhension entre les États Membres, les organismes intergouvernementaux et le grand public. Nous sommes les messagers invisibles qui veillent à ce que les principes et les idéaux de l’Organisation et de ses Membres soient transmis avec grâce et éloquence et à ce que leur message soit communiqué avec clarté.
