U nedelju obeležavanje Međunarodnog dana frankofonije

Međunarodni dan Frankofonije, kao i svake godine, biće obeležen u nedelju, 20. marta širom sveta, u zemljama francuskog govornog područja, ali i u onima gde je francuski jezik manje rasprostranjen.

U nedelju će oko 300 miliona ljudi koji govore francuski jezik na svim kontinentima slaviti taj jezik i kulturnu raznovrsnost kroz razne manifestacije, spektakle, filmske festivale, književne susrete i degustacije jela.

Ove godine je proslava na temu “Frankofonija budućnosti” kako bi se istakla podrška frankofonije mladima i njihovim težnjama, posebno u oblastima preduzetništva, digitalne tehnologije i održivog razvoja, navodi se na sajtu Međunarodne organizacije frankofonije(OIF).

Dan frankofonije zvanično će biti obeležen u Dubaiju, u okviru programa OIF-a na Svetskoj izložbi koja je počela u oktobru 2021. godine. Na programu su između ostalog konferencije “Frankofone inspiracije” za promociju inovacija i mladih talenata “Frankofonije budućnosti” i projekcije filmova uz podršku OIF-a.

Međunarodni dan frankofonije obeležava se 20. marta jer je tog dana 1970. godine u Nijameju osnovana Agencije za kulturnu i tehničku saradnju, koja je potom postala OIF.

OIF ima više od 80 zemalja članica. Organizacija okuplja zemlje koje dele zajedničke vrednosti, poput demokratije i ljudskih prava i ima za prioritet promovisanje francuskog jezika.

Srbija je na 17. samitu frankofonije, održanom 11. i 12. oktobra 2018. u Jerevanu, dobila status pridruženog člana, a do tada je bila zemlja posmatrač.
