França-Brasil 2025 season
At the end of their meeting in June 2023 in Paris, Presidents Emmanuel Macron and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva decided to organize a France-Brazil Season in 2025 to give new impetus to the bilateral relationship, which celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2025, and strengthen our joint actions in the face of contemporary political, social and ecological challenges.
In this spirit, the Season favors projects based on partnerships between French and Brazilian institutions and organizations, likely to extend beyond 2025 and strengthen the ties between our societies.
Pluridisciplinary, innovative and committed, the Season has been organized around a first Brazilian section in France from April to September, with a prelude starting in January, and now unfolds around a second French section in Brazil from August to December 2025.

The priorities defined by the two presidents for this Season are as follows:
The United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice in June 2025 and COP 30 in Belém in November 2025 reflect the desire of the two presidents to respond in concert, and within a multilateral framework, to climate challenges. This theme will be a key focus of the program, in a broad sense that can include the major issues of ecological transition, such as biodiversity, low-carbon energies and sustainable cities.
.
The Season will strengthen the involvement of Afro-descendant and indigenous populations in Franco-Brazilian relations, with a particular focus on French Guiana and the West Indies. France and Brazil also share strong ties with Africa, which the programming will highlight to develop cooperation between our three continents around shared priorities.
Presidents Macron and Lula emphasized their desire to work together to defend democratic values and work towards a fairer, more inclusive globalization, notably by combating misinformation, inequality and discrimination. The program will aim to mobilize young people around these themes, by organizing meetings, debates on ideas and exchanges of experience.
