International Day of Teachers of French, 2022 edition

The International Day of Teachers of French, which theme was entitled “The teacher of French, creator of the future”, took place on the 25th and 26th November 2022 in both Alliances Françaises of Kenya.

The organization of these days was enabled thanks to a fruitful partnership between the following institutions: French Embassy in Kenya, Alliance Française of Nairobi, Alliance Française of Mombasa, Kenya Association of Teachers of French (KATF), Kenyatta University, Radio France Internationale, Didier FLE and Hachette FLE. The programme gathered around 150 French teachers from all around the country, for various activities such as round tables, training workshops, forum of Francophone institutions, prize awardings.

The event also aims at implementing new digital practices among French teachers, with a podcast competition, which went very successful. Twenty productions were sent to the jury in a framework of two weeks. The authors of the three awarded podcasts won tablets in order to encourage them to continue creating podcasts. The teacher that was awarded the first prize, Kate Sakari, from Highway Secondary School (FLAAP school network), was named “French teacher of 2022 year in Kenya”.

For this second edition of the International Day of Teachers of French in Kenya, the Embassy benefitted from a grant from the International Federation of Teachers of French.
