Rationale:

The aim of the School Liaison and Community Outreach Fund is to support the learning of the French language and francophone cultures and to contribute to the growth and vitality of French-speaking communities across Australia. The Australian Society for French Studies, with support from the Embassy of France in Australia, will make up to two annual awards of a maximum of $500 each. These awards will assist members in their initiatives to foster collaborative exchanges with community organisations; to promote French teaching in schools. We especially welcome collaborative applications between ASFS and FATFA members (Federation of Associations of Teachers ofFrench in Australia); to engage in intellectual development in subjects related to those which they are teaching and which will allow them to help students bridge the gap between school and university. The scheme also acts as a forum for keeping members up-to-date with curriculum developments and deepening the Association’s ties to Australia’s French-speaking communities.

 
Eligibility and Application:

All ASFS members are eligible to apply. One round of funding will be offered per year, with a maximum of $500 awarded per project.
