F.L.A.M

One of Frenz' many activities, is the organisation of 'After-School' classes.   In willingness to reinforce the French language and culture, and to listen to  the expressed needs and requests of it’s members, Frenz initiated in the year 2000, various after-school classes: "Drama" and  "Homework". The latest was so successful that at the beginning of 2004, the class was split in two. However, the French class for children who had left primary, organised in 2003, was abandoned for lack of interest. 

 These projects were made possible thanks to the financial help of the French Foreign Affair Ministry through the FLAM (French as a mother tongue) programme. 

Flam is a programme aiming to consolidate the French language as a mother tongue.

The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs within its activities of  cultural cooperation and promotion of the French language abroad, has organized a unique programme to help and support local “out of school” initiatives designed to use the French language.

 Groups fitting the description submit their application for funds. Frenz has received the grant for two consecutive years. The association wishes to especially thank Mr Jean Marc Philippeau, the French Culturel Attaché at the French Embassy in Wellington, for his invaluable help to the organisation and with the presentation of our application.
