Concerts, performances, film shows, debates - and cuisine of course - will be attractions at the third Francophone Festival in Poland throughout March.

As Elżbieta Krajewska reports, representing one of the globe’s biggest linguistic zones, the International Organisation of La Francophonie brings together French speakers the world over, and with 77 member states and more than 890 million people worldwide, IOF takes pride in the fact that it's not only a common language that is shared, but also humanist values.

Ambassador of France to Poland Pierre Buhler told Polish Radio that “the Francophone Festival is a feast of diversity because there are so many countries, cultures, civilisations united by Francophonie, and such richness. And so is our programme: tastes, cinema, song, theatre, everything. Every year it grows and I am really overjoyed that it has aroused such interest in Poland.”
