Chers amis, L'Institut français du Nigeria est heureux de vous faire parvenir le premier programme d'activités. Ce programme s'adresse à tous, de nos apprenants de français au public général mais aussi à nos partenaires culturels, économiques et institutionnels. D'une manière générale, ce programme s'efforcera de présenter l'ensemble des activités de l'Institut (la culture, l'enseignement du français et la promotion des études supérieures en France) mais aussi vous informera de l'actualité de la coopération franconigériane dans les domaines de l'éducation, du développement, des sciences… La programmation s'articulera autour d'actions de diffusion, de formation, de coopération, de coproduction ou tout simplement de sensibilisation, de collaboration ou de mise à disposition. L'Institut français du Nigeria s'efforcera non seulement d'être un actif révélateur ainsi qu'un partenaire privilégié pour la promotion et la diffusion de la langue française, de la culture française et nigériane en focalisant notre soutien à la jeune génération mais il aura aussi pour ambition d'être un passeur, un transmetteur qui donne à voir et à comprendre. Le premier semestre de l'année 2014 a été riche d'événements mais nous avons préféré donner « un coup de projecteur » aux cours pour enfants qui se sont déroulés cet été. Ces sourires nous ont procuré beaucoup de plaisir et nous avons souhaité le partager avec vous. Je souhaite au nom de toute l'équipe de l'Institut Français du Nigeria que ce programme soit un support utile et agréable pour mieux faire connaître nos activités et nos actions au service d'une coopération fondée sur des liens de confiance et d'amitié. Patrick PEREZ, Directeur Dear friends, The French Institute of Nigeria is very pleased to present its first program of activities. This program is for all of our French learners, the general public as well as our cultural, economic and institutional partners. In general, the program will attempt to present all the activities of the Institute (culture, French teaching and promotion of higher education in France) but also inform you of the news of Franco-Nigerian cooperation in the fields of education, development, sciences ... The program will consist of actions of diffusion, training, cooperation, coproduction or simply sensitization, collaboration or provision. The French Institute of Nigeria will strive not only to be a developer and an active partner in the promotion and diffusion of the French language, French and Nigerian culture by focusing its support on the younger generation but it will also aim to be a transmitter that will allow us to see and understand. The first semester 2014 was eventful but we preferred to place the spotlight the on French classes for children and teenagers that took place this summer.. The smiles of the kids gave us a lot of fun and we wanted to share it with you. I wish on behalf of the entire team of the French Institute of Nigeria that this program will be a useful and enjoyable tool to publicize our activities and actions in the service of a cooperation, based on trust and friendship. Patrick Perez, Director

L’Institut français du Nigeria est heureux de soutenir deux de nos écoles partenaires qui enseignent le français, en mettant à disposition nos locaux pour une exposition de photographies par de jeunes et talentueux lycéens. How does one get a 15 year old to express him/herself? Give him/her a camera and wait for the results. With the introduction of trade skills, by the Federal Government through the Ministry of education at secondary school level, the perception of photography will change. This collection of photographs, are the visual interpretations of SS3 students for their final WAEC and NECO examinations from Glisten International Academy and Ladela School. Though not “perfect”, it is hoped that these photographs being exhibited will give exposure to the students and provide the impetus for better things to come within the photographic industry. These young people are the future of the industry, and they should be encouraged.
