👕 The French Embassy in Ireland supports GOAL Jersey Day!

Our team was delighted to take part in GOAL Jersey Day 2026, showing our team spirit by wearing a sports jersey in support of GOAL’s humanitarian work.

For the 38th year, this Irish initiative brings schools and companies together across Ireland through their shared love of sport, raising funds for communities affected by crises around the world.

This year, All-Ireland Football Champion and French Teacher Rory Grugan also supported the initiative with us by wearing a colourful France Gaelic jersey! Fédération des Sports Gaéliques 🏐🇮🇪🇫🇷

🇫🇷🤝🇮🇪 Promoting multilingualism from primary school: Vive la langue française en Irlande 🌍 ☘️

What if discovering a foreign language began at a very young age?

🌱 As part of its mission to promote the French language in Ireland, the French Embassy is supporting the roll-out of an initiative aimed at encouraging the learning of French in primary schools in Dublin, following on from the ‘’Projet 20/20’’ carried out in Cork, Wexford, Limerick, Sligo and Roscommon!

This initiative comes at an important time for language education in Ireland, as the country implements modern language learning at primary level. It reflects our commitment to supporting developments in the Irish education system while promoting access to linguistic and cultural diversity from an early age.

✨ Our ambition:
➡️ Spark children’s linguistic and cultural curiosity from primary school onwards;
➡️ Introduce French in a fun and interactive way;
➡️ Encourage multilingualism and intercultural openness;
➡️ Support local education stakeholders in developing French language learning.

👉 Learning a language is about much more than acquiring a new skill. It opens doors to the world, helps us connect with others and creates new opportunities for the future.

🌟 Well done to the teachers at the Alliance Française Dublin Française in Dublin who bring French to life in the classroom!

Last week we welcomed Éléonore Caroit, Minister Delegate for Francophonie, International Partnerships, and French Nationals Abroad, to Dublin.

Minister Caroit joined her European counterparts for the EU Development Ministers' meeting organized under the Irish Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026 Neale Richmond. Focusing on responding to mounting global challenges, discussions highlighted:

➡️ European commitment to help urgent humanitarian needs and long term development cooperation
➡️ With a budget allowing for the EU’s collective foreign policy, protecting civilians from Gaza to Sudan, and upholding international humanitarian law.
➡️ Working alongside EU counterparts, as well as UN OCHA Head Tom Fletcher, to improve the logistics of humanitarian aid.

The Minister also prolonged her visit of Dublin to include a full bilateral section which covered:

In collaboration with some of TCD’s dynamic student societies, College Historical Society (The Hist), Trinity College Dublin (The Hist), Trinity Politics Society, TCD French Society, Europa Society TCD and Pol Soc TCD, Minister Caroit delivered an inspiring keynote address on the future of international cooperation and multilateralism. She stressed that international law and multilateral institutions are guarantees of collective security and addressed key priorities including women's rights, combating online violence, and protecting civilians.

🌐 Promoting French Language & Culture at Alliance Française Dublin and Lycée Français International Samuel Beckett. Language and cultural exchange remain at the heart of our bilateral relation.

➡️ Minister Caroit visited Alliance Française Dublin, serving students through its vibrant educational and cultural programming, the Alliance continues to bring French language and culture to life in Ireland every day. The Alliance Française in Dublin is the second-largest in Europe and the first in a non-French-speaking country.

➡️ At Lycée Français International Samuel Beckett, Minister Caroit met with an enthusiastic educational community. With a unique Franco-German-Irish Eurocampus, the school serves as a flagship model of daily European integration and academic excellence.

Following the training day bringing together all language assistants in Ireland, the French Embassy in Ireland organised a welcome, networking and training day at the Alliance Française de Dublin, dedicated to the new cohort of French language assistants for 2026/2027. ✨These 100 assistants have just joined Irish schools.

The day provided an opportunity to meet key figures in educational cooperation in Ireland, discuss the challenges of teaching French and make practical preparations for their role alongside teachers.

On the programme:

⭐ The Irish education system and French exam papers
📚 Classroom practices and teaching resources
👩‍🏫 Classroom management and the assistant–teacher relationship
🗣️ Activities to develop pupils’ speaking skills
🌍 Intercultural understanding and the francophone world
💬 Experiences and advice from former assistants
👉Opportunities for discussion and practical tools to enable everyone to approach their role with confidence and contribute fully to the promotion of French in Irish schools.

Over the coming weeks, these assistants will head to all corners of Ireland to work alongside French teachers in Irish secondary schools.

🎓 As invaluable ambassadors of the French language and culture, they will work throughout the year to inspire a love of French in pupils, to bring the Francophone world to life and to strengthen educational ties between France and Ireland.

👏 Thank you to the Alliance Française Dublin for its warm welcome, and to all those involved in and partners of educational cooperation for their commitment to the language assistants.

A warm welcome and we wish you all a wonderful year! 🇫🇷🤝🇮🇪
