The seminar is organized by the Association of Teachers of French and is held in cooperation with the Agency for International Educational Cooperation under support of the RF Ministry of Science and Higher Education and embassies of France and other French-speaking countries in Russia.

Participants were invited to attend classes, delivered by highly skilled experts from Belgium, Canada, France, Switzerland, USA and Maghreb countries (Algeria and Morocco).

The event bought together 125 teachers of French from Azerbaijan, Algeria, Belarus, Denmark, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Morocco, Russia and the United States.

Peer exchange of experience and ideas gives impetus for fruitful work and introduction of new approaches in teaching foreign languages.
