French

In December 2014, over 274 million people spoke Fench, making it the 5^th most spoken language worldwide – and it increases consistently.

Due to the special connection to France, French play an important role in Germany, and numerous workspaces depend on the exchange with this economic partner. Since signing the Elysee-Agreement in 1963, both languages of the respective partner country are being particularly promoted. To carry-out this project, the Franco-German Youth Office has been founded, which supports the exchange of young people between both countries via various programs, and which also benefits the LLC.

Kleff - Hanover & Rouen

Since 2013, the French department has been cooperating with the University of Rouen and has offered German students the possibility to visit and explore our partner city and participate in an academic exchange.

Through the exchange with our partner university, we have created a blog for the KleFF-project (Kollaboratives Lernen für Französisch als Fremdsprache – Collaborative Learning of French as a Foreign Language) on which you can read about the experiences of our past participants and what a Franco-German seminar week may look like. The exchange takes place every year in spring and is rewarded with a number of ECTS-points.

Since signing the Elysee-Agreement ins 1963, the Franco-German Youth Office plays an important role in the relationship of the two countries.
