Hello everybody!
Today I would like to write about the "Francophonie", a huge festival in France but mostly in Francophone countries.
This festival promote French culture, it means to promote the language, the music, youth development and ideas, but also the democracy, the education, the sustainable development.
It takes place on 20th March, for this occasion, Leslie (one of the 2 other French volunteers) were invited in a Gymnasuim who diffrent schools join to celebrate the Francophonie together.
There were 4 classes from different gymnasium and everybody were learning French with different classes level.
Leslie and me were the firstto open the celebration by singing. For this event, she brings her guitar and we sung"Kyo - "Derniere danse" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU_TQcyGkvY)
Afterwards, the different schools had some presentation about France. The older sung "Aux Champs Elysees" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9V-zUlrhEE) and a couple were dancing in the middle of the stage.
The 2nd group sung a nursery rythm with choregraphy of "1,2,3 nous irons au bois" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpUNmriaiz4).
The 3rd group recite a poem of Jacques Prevert, "La familiale", about the 2nd world war (http://www.bacfrancais.com/commentaire/24-prevert-familiale-commentaire.php).
The last group, I didn't understand why but they dance on Gangnam stylefrench version). It was quite weird because it is a Korean pop music, but anyway...
After those different show we sung a 2nd time with Leslie : "Il est libre Max from Hervé Christiani" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dx3rktr4Ls).
Then, with Regina, the French teacher of the gymnasuim, we read a passage of "Le petit prince", I read first in French and then she read in Lithuanian.
The children had a work relating with "Le petit prince'", they watched a short film "Le Petit Prince et la Planete du temps" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxKP9smSLP4), according to this short movie, they had to paint something related to Le Petit Prince. We were the jury and we chose 3 paintings and the pupils who painted them received a diploma. There were some really interesting paints, and some were more vague, abstract...
We took a Picture all together :
We finally eat (cantine food, not French food XD) and we came back!
It was a good day, I was afraid to sing in front such a lot of pupils, but it was okay... :)
Ačiū for reading :)
Have a good day, iki!
