Educational programs
African language courses are offered in certain schools and cultural centers in France, promoting bilingualism and multilingualism.
The National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations (Inalco) in Paris plays a crucial role by offering training in around ten sub-Saharan languages, including Swahili, Wolof and Malagasy.
According to Africultures , the number of students enrolled in these courses has increased in recent years, from 185 in 2010-2011 to 239 in 2013-2014.
These initiatives encourage the recognition of African new caledonia b2b leads languages as an integral part of French linguistic heritage.
According to Jean de Dieu Karangwa, director of the Africa department at Inalco, this increase can be explained by various factors, including the interest of students directing their careers towards Africa or preparing for diplomatic competitions.
