We are happy to inform you of the recent creation of a local Fiafe chapter
in Minneapolis/St Paul. Fiafe (Federation Internationale des Accueils francais et francophones à l'étranger/www.fiafe.org) is a French organization helping French and Francophone expatriates all around the world adjust to the culture of their
new host country. Our primary purpose is to provide a support network,
offering activities and events for members during their stay. We also publish a monthly newsletter to keep our members
informed and connected. Membership is free. Interested parties should contact minnesota-accueil@hotmail.com to be added to our mailing list.
You may be interested in communicating this information to your international staff
or add it to your own resource material. Our monthly newsletters (in French) are very informative and compile a list of local
events (as well as our own events) that can be of interest for the French, Francophone as well as the Francophile communities.
You may also want to check our Address Book (Le Carnet d'Adresses) on our link page to find out the contact information
of our local French expatriates with a service to promote (classes, art work, professional photography..) Please contact us
with any questions at info@franceminnesotacontact.com.
