What if we could turn our old comics into kites instead of throwing them away?
This is what the Alliance Française invites you to discover to celebrate World Environment Day, because nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed!
A great opportunity to have a one-of-a-kind kite for this summer!
Discover your creativity through a variety of activities including writing workshops, a dictation contest, readings, and more. Whether you’re an experienced writer or simply curious to explore the world of words, this event is open to all.

We are thrilled to welcome Maltese poet Norbert Bugeja as a special guest at our Writing Festival!
Born in 1980, Norbert Bugeja is a leading voice in contemporary Maltese poetry. He has published three acclaimed poetry collections in Maltese, exploring themes of memory, identity, and place. In addition to his literary work, he is a Associate Professor in Postcolonial Studies and the Director of the Mediterranean Institute at the University of Malta.
Don’t miss this chance to hear him read from his work and share insights into his writing process!
A cube full of stories, ready to travel from classroom to library, from hallway to festival!
Originally developed in partnership with the French Ministry of Education, the Cub’Édito is a mobile Short Story Dispenser designed to promote both reading and writing. It prints short stories on eco-friendly paper at the push of a button — perfect for sparking curiosity and a love of words.
Come write, share, and get inspired!
This is a captivating journey back in time — a powerful immersion into the world of antiquity.

Those who think that the countryside is a quiet and peaceful place are mistaken, for there are some particularly restless animals, such as a fox that thinks it’s a hen, a rabbit that plays the stork and a duck that wants to replace Santa Claus. If you’re looking for a vacation, this is the place for you.
