The selected initiatives could be integrated into the programming of the Francophonie Festival between March and October 2024 and promoted through communication actions that will be implemented during this period, particularly on the Internet and social networks. Certain projects may be subject to restitution during the closing days of the Francophonie Festival in October 2024.
