The DÉFI is a fun, French-language competition between Alliances Françaises, enabling their learners to meet virtually and challenge each other on questions linked to French-speaking cultures and the French language.
As part of the Francophonie Summit, the focus this year will be on French-speaking cultures.
In this fourth edition, the contest will have a new phase: by geographic zone, and above all: a live international final in October at the Théâtre de l'Alliance Française. Winners from each geographic zone will compete against each other for the podium, and against French students for the title of DÉFI Inter-Alliances Global Winner!
It will be organized on two online platforms: Zoom and Kahoot.
This contest will follow four phases:
In the first phase, a regional quiz competition consisting of 20 challenging questions in French. The top two performers of each AF will automatically become finalists for the national competition :

The two winners of each local AF preselection will go on to the INDIA national phase :

From this stage, two exceptional individuals will earn the prestigious title of "National Winners" and secure their positions as finalists for the Inter-regional contest before the international final in Paris.
