This presentation explores the tradition of May Day in France, focusing on the importance of giving lily of the valley. There is a video to watch and comprehension questions to answer. Finally, students will have the opportunity to do a simple creative activity using cotton to make their own May Day lily of the valley.

This presentation explains the tradition of the “Galette des Rois” and introduces important vocabulary related to it.

This document is a speaking activity about intergenerational co-living, which can be used in the context of relationships with grandparents. It includes a video to watch and comprehension questions.

The document presents a comprehension activity based on a video about SOS Racisme’s “testing” practice, used to expose racial discrimination in France. The organization has conducted this method for 15 years, originally in nightclubs, and now, for the first time, on private beaches along the French Riviera. In the test, two couples: one of Maghrebi origin and one white, ask for the same service (sunbeds). The Maghrebi couple is refused while the white couple is accepted, revealing racial bias. SOS Racisme concludes that discrimination based on skin colour, origin, or clothing persists and is unjustifiable. The worksheet then asks students to reflect on the reliability of the testing method, the persistence of racism today, and possible solutions, such as staff training, stronger laws, or broader awareness campaigns.

This worksheet contains various exercises on the theme of heritage, based on a definition of it. It can be used as an introduction to test students’ knowledge of this topic before studying it further.

This exercise is based on the song “La semaine prochaine” by contemporary French singer Marc Lavoine. The first part consists of listening to the song and filling in the missing words in the lyrics. In the second part, students will take part in a discussion to check their understanding of the song and share their personal opinions about its themes and meaning.

This document deals with the theme of the fight against homophobia in France. It focuses on examples of awareness campaigns, such as posters and interventions carried out by volunteers from an association. The activity is based on the comprehension of a video and aims to develop students’ oral expression through discussion and reflection on the topic.

The presentation explores ethnic and cultural diversity in France, highlighting how immigration and multiculturalism have shaped French society over time. It examines how diversity is reflected not only in the country’s demographics but also in its symbols of national identity. One key example is the French football team, whose players come from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The team embodies the idea of unity through diversity and shows how France’s multicultural reality contributes to its international image. The presentation also looks at French gastronomy, showing that the country’s celebrated cuisine is influenced by a wide range of regional and global flavors. This culinary diversity mirrors the cultural richness of modern France and challenges the traditional view of a single, uniform national culture. Overall, the project emphasizes that diversity is both a strength and a source of identity for contemporary France, shaping its culture, traditions, and sense of community.
