FIAF’s Young Audience Program is an education outreach initiative that offers school groups the opportunity to attend events selected for their artistic excellence and connection to French and Francophone cultures. FIAF provides a study guide for each event and invites groups to participate in a post-performance discussion with the artists.
FREE for public schools and affordable for others, these events are open only to school groups, and require advance reservation.
