Since their creation in 1985, more than sixty Seasons have enabled France to dialogue with a hundred or so other countries, to showcase a wide range of cultures and forging lasting links between regions and peoples. 2025 will be the year of the reunion between Brazil and France, just twenty years after the first Brazilian Season in France, "Brazil, Brazils". 

This new cross Season will be built around three themes: the climate and the ecological transition, the diversity of societies and dialogue with Africa, democracy and fair globalisation, which will be the common thread in the development of a joint programme.

With a particular focus on young people and exchanges between professionals, the programme, built with civil society and cultural players, will combine global challenges with questions of human rights, diversity and equality. 

A call for projects for French programming in Brazil has been published. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: the closing date for the call for projects has been extended to Monday 1 July 2024-23:59 CET
