Alliance Française de Dhaka (French pronunciation: [aljɑ̃s fʁɑ̃sɛːz də daka]; Bengali: আলিয়ঁস ফ্রঁসেজ দ্য ঢাকা) or AFD is a nonprofit organization which has been working in Bangladesh since 1959. [3] Located at Dhanmondi, Dhaka. [4] [5] Sometimes referred as the French Cultural Center, Alliance Française de Dhaka works independently in close liaison with the High Commission of France in Bangladesh. [6] [3]
Alliance Française de Dhaka is located at 26 Mirpur Road, Dhanmondi, Dhaka. As of 2012, two branches have been established at Gulshan and Uttara. [3] [7] [8]
Alliance Française de Dhaka promotes French culture, especially the French language to the local people of Bangladesh and at the same time, promotes the local Bangladeshi culture in France. [9] The centre functions as a hub for various cultural activities, featuring regular exhibitions of art, music, films, as well as a cafe and a library on its premises. [3]
Courses in French as a foreign language conform to the CEFR and Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues (CECR). [10]
Alliance Française de Dhaka organizes four sessions of courses each spanning for three months per year. There are three age groups: children (9-12), teenagers (13-15) and adults (16+). International exams like DELF, DALF, Test de connaissance du français (TCF), Test d'évaluation du français (TEF), and Diplôme d'Aptitude à l'Enseignement du Français Langue Étrangère (DAEFLE) are offered for all eligible students. [10] Alliance Française de Dhaka has been preparing private, corporate, tailor-made, and external courses for corporations and institutions like Bangladesh military and police personnel as well as tailor-made courses for diplomats and high ranking functionaries. [11] [12]
The centre provides a range of artistic courses, including piano, violin, photography, guitar, interior and fashion designing, dance, as well as catering to exotic interests like rooftop gardening, French cooking classes. [13] [14] [3] [15]
AFD now trains officers from the Navy, police headquarters and airforce, as well as diplomats and high ranking civil servants, said Monsieur Causeret
