Journée Universités
As part of the Francophonie Festival Ghana 2026, Journée Universités is a dedicated platform for higher education institutions to engage, collaborate, and explore new opportunities within the Francophone space.
Bringing together university students, faculty, and academic leaders, this event highlights the strategic role of French in research, academic mobility, regional cooperation, and global competitiveness. It serves as a meeting point for dialogue, exchange, and partnership-building among institutions committed to internationalisation.
This year, we gather under the theme:
« Positionner le Ghana dans l’espace francophone : langue, partenariats et opportunités »(Repositioning Ghana in the Francophonie Space: Language, Partnerships and Opportunities).
As Ghana continues to strengthen its engagement within the Francophone world, the French language emerges as a key driver of academic collaboration, access to scholarships, joint research initiatives, student exchanges, and innovation networks.
As a full member of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), Ghana is strategically positioned to expand inter-university partnerships and create new pathways for students and researchers across the Francophone community.
Journée Universités celebrates higher education as a cornerstone of regional integration, knowledge exchange, and sustainable development—empowering the next generation of leaders to thrive in a multilingual and interconnected world. 🌍🎓

2026-03-27 20:00 - 23:00 | Alliance Francaise Accra, Ghana
Projection : À la Belle Étoile
As part of the Francophonie Festival Ghana 2026, join us for a special screening of À la Belle Étoile—a moving and inspiring film that celebrates resilience, ambition, and the pursuit of dreams.
This cinematic evening aligns with our 2026 theme:
« Positionner le Ghana dans l’espace francophone : langue, partenariats et opportunités »(Repositioning Ghana in the Francophonie Space: Language, Partnerships and Opportunities).
Through storytelling and shared cultural experience, cinema becomes a powerful tool of connection within the Francophone world. Film not only entertains—it fosters dialogue, deepens cultural understanding, and strengthens the bonds that unite Francophone communities across borders.
As Ghana continues to expand its engagement within the global Francophonie and as a full member of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), cultural platforms such as film screenings play an important role in promoting exchange, creativity, and collaboration.
Join us for an evening under the stars—or simply under the magic of the screen—as we celebrate Francophone cinema and the power of storytelling.

GHANA OCEAN FESTIVAL 2026 LAUNCHES IN ACCRA
2026-06-03 10:00 - 2026-06-05 21:00 | Alliance Francaise Accra, Ghana
From Wednesday, 3rd June to Friday, 5th June 2026, the Alliance Française Accra will become the epicenter of environmental advocacy and creative expression as it hosts the highly anticipated Ghana Ocean Festival 2026.
Timed to celebrate World Environment Day and looking forward to the upcoming World Ocean Day, the three-day festival serves as a critical junction where eco-entrepreneurs, scientists, artists, and citizens unite to confront the country’s most pressing environmental challenges.
This year’s festival carries a deep emotional weight. Opening on 3rd June, organizers and attendees will pause to observe a solemn moment of remembrance, honoring the lives lost during the tragic 2015 June 3rd Flood and Fire Disaster in Accra. The tribute highlights the festival's core mission: translating memory into active, community-led climate resilience and urban safety.

Exhibition Highlights: Confronting the Reality
The festival landscape will be anchored by two major photographic narratives running daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM:

“Life is dying – Galamsey” by Mowgli: Curated by environmental artist and scientist Mowgli under The Living Wild initiative, this collection documents the fragility of interconnected ecosystems in Ghana’s Western Region. The exhibition invites viewers to analyze how local resource extraction ripples outward to affect global food security, biodiversity, and climate change.
“Waves of Change” by Plastic Punch: This visual exhibition by the prominent Ghanaian marine conservation NGO confronts the stark, unfiltered realities of the country's plastic crisis. It balances hard-hitting imagery of threatened coastlines with stories of grassroots circular economy initiatives working to reverse the tide.

Creative Workshops, Panel Discussions and Performance Art
On Friday, 5th June, the festival transitions into interactive advocacy:

Sip & Soil Session with kids (12:00 PM – 3:00 PM): Led by leading eco-entrepreneur Ivy Enyonam Kufe, this workshop merges lifestyle and sustainability, teaching kids urban gardening, potting, creative pot painting, and more
Calabash Farms Live Performance: The collaborative Devised Theatre group, Calabash Farms, will take the stage with a high-energy dance and movement campaign aimed squarely at sanitation challenges and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Spoken Word Poetry by Albert the Poet: Albert the Poet brings his captivating storytelling prowess and spoken word artistry to the stage in remembrance of the unfortunate 3rd June 2015 flooding and fire disaster in Accra.
The Inaugural Sustainability Salon: The festival will conclude on the evening of Friday, 5th June, with the launch of its inaugural Sustainability Salon, described by organizers as a civic-forward evening where "vision meets responsibility." The Salon draws inspiration from 17th and 18th-century French salons that convened thinkers to debate reason and social critique, as well as Africa's deeply rooted, historic traditions of oral governance, storytelling, and communal dialogue, this space will bring together leaders, artists, scientists, and citizens to help shape a more sustainable environmental future.

"Art has the unique power to translate scientific data into human emotion," says the festival committee. "The Ghana Ocean Festival isn't just about admiring the beauty of our waters; it’s a direct call to action for citizen power to protect Mother Earth."
