We are off to a great start with the first edition of the Institut français du Nigéria OPEN DAY on Saturday, September 17th.

A whole day to know more about our available French classes, to visit our new library, its digital space and resources in French, to obtain information and advice on studies in France with Campus France, and to receive our next rich and diverse cultural programme. This quarter, the cultural programme will feature a series of debates, the second edition of the Franco-Japanese animated film festival and of the musical project Electronic Soundscapes, as well as a contemporary dance duo from Tunisia.

SÉRAPHINE
An evening of French and Nigerian artistic videos Soirée de vidéos d’artistes nigérians et français
Fiction, 2008, 2h06 Discussion with environmental artist Ifesinachi Nwanyanwu Though being a housekeeper, in her off-hours Séraphine turned to natural elements of the outdoor world, with which she felt a tremendous degree of emotional and spiritual communion. Séraphine channeled these undying passions through painting. Her life took a fantastic turn when Wilhelm Uhde, a German art critic, laid eyes on the young woman’s creations for the first time. En 1912, le collectionneur allemand Wilhelm Uhde, premier acheteur de Picasso, loue un appartement pour se reposer de sa vie parisienne. Il prend à son service une femme de ménage, Séraphine. Plus tard, il remarque chez des notables une petite toile peinte sur bois. Sa stupéfaction est grande d’apprendre que l’auteur n’est autre que Séraphine.
“Projection Continue” is a video exhibition that features videos and short films by students of the “Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs”, Paris. The Video Art Network of Lagos presents a selection of some of these videos as well as videos from Nigerian artists. « Projection continue » est une exposition de vidéos et courts-métrages réalisée par des étudiants de l’École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs, Paris.

WINNER OF THE AUDIENCE AWARD AT THE 2016 NOLLYWOOD WEEK IN PARIS
Linked with the Quarterly Talk “New shapes of feminism” (see p.8), and the two dance shows performed by Tunisian dancers (see p.14), As I open my Eyes raises the issue of the role of women in contemporary Tunisian society. Tunis, summer 2010, a few months before the Revolution: Farah, 18 years-old, has just graduated and her family sees her as a future doctor. But she doesn’t think the same way. She sings in a political band, has a passion for life, discovers love and her city by night against the will of her mother who knows Tunisia and its dangers too well.
In a classic Cinderella like story, a prostitute, Michelle, is stuck in a world she can not escape from. Her hope that one day a Prince Charming would rescue her from it all, seems lost. A heir to an empire, Kenechi, is transformed into a child by an overly ambitious uncle who wants the empire to himself.
En lien avec le débat d’idées « Nouvelles formes de féminisme » (voir p.8) et le spectacle de danse « Deux duos tunisiens » (voir p.14), « À peine j’ouvre les yeux » questionne la place de la femme dans la société tunisienne contemporaine. À Tunis en 2010, quelques mois avant la Révolution de Jasmin, Farah passe son bac. Ses parents souhaitent qu’elle devienne médecin. Mais la jeune femme chante au sein d’un groupe engagé, découvre l’ivresse nocturne et ses romances.

TWO DANCE SOLOS FROM TUNISIA African tour organised by the Institut français Paris Information on www.institutfrancais-nigeria.com
M.A.K.T.O.U.B SOLO DANCE PERFORMANCE The life of an artist always seems simple, but if you look deep inside, it becomes more complex. So many different paths to follow. How do we choose? By keeping in mind the starting point. Une vie artistique paraît toujours facile au premier abord, mais une fois à l’intérieur, cela devient plus complexe. Les chemins sont tellement différents, les choix sont multiples. Choisir ?
NITT 100 LIMITES SOLO DANCE PERFORMANCE Oumaïma Manaï runs, dances, runs away to seek freedom and break her chains… Her movements reveal both the beauty and the strength of the female body. This solo piece questions the role of women in contemporary Tunisian society, particularly after the recent political changes that have affected the country. Oumaïma Manaï marche, elle court, elle danse, cherchant à fuir, à se libérer et à briser ses chaînes… Ses mouvements dévoilent à la fois la beauté du corps féminin et sa force cachée. Seule en scène, Oumaïma Manaï interroge la place de la femme dans la société tunisienne, en écho aux récents changements politiques qui ont eu lieu en Tunisie et aux manifestations de Tunis.

SCOLARSHIPS TO STUDY IN FRANCE
In October, Campus France will launch the first participative platform aimed at connecting our Alumni with companies and institutions in Nigeria. The objective is for companies to detect new talents and for students to be aware of new opportunities! We will also give you updates on new projects settling in Nigeria as well as the dates to recruitment fairs we will be organising. In order to launch this new tool, Campus France will organise a venue in October. We will keep you posted soon on the date and place of the venue. So don’t forget to check our facebook!
COME AND JOIN US TO A WORKSHOP ON HOW TO DRAFT THE PERFECT LETTER OF MOTIVATION AND CV Drafting a letter of motivation or a CV can be stressful and sometimes unsuccessful because one is not capable of highlighting his talent and his achievements. It is a technical exercise that can easily be mastered with the correct tools. To help you out in this difficult exercise, Campus France will be organising a monthly workshop. To apply, please send an email to the following address: espace.nigeria@campusfrance.com
CAMPUS FRANCE WILL CONTINUE TO TRAVEL, WANT US TO COME TO YOUR SCHOOL OR YOUR UNIVERSITY? Since February, Campus France has travelled throughout Nigeria to meet with pupils and students in Secondary Schools and Universities and promote opportunities to come and study in France. If you want an agent to come, please do not hesitate to send an email to the following address: espace.nigeria@campusfrance.com
Each year, there are many scholarship programmes available for those who want to study in France. These scholarship programmes also include the support from the Campus France officers in the application process. This year more than 30 students will be leaving thanks to a full scholarship and many more obtained partial scholarships to support them in their road to knowledge and empowerment.
AFTER YOU STUDIED IN FRANCE...
JOIN OUR NETWORK France Alumni, for foreign alumni of the French education system
