🇫🇷🇳🇬 Ambassade de France et université UNICAEN au Village Français du Nigéria, à Badagry

Dans le cadre du lancement du projet « Bilingual and Competitive », une mission conjointe a été menée au Village Français du Nigéria à Badagry, le centre de formation inter-universitaire Nigerian où se retrouvent chaque année plus de 800 étudiants en langue française. L’objectif de cette mission: évaluer les équipements acquis dans le cadre d’un programme précédent, faire le point sur les progrès réalisés en matière de pratiques pédagogiques, et identifier les besoins prioritaires en formation pour les mois à venir.

Cette visite a également constitué une précieuse opportunité pour les deux experts d’UNICAEN, Olivier Serazin et Jacques Beziat, d’échanger avec les enseignants, les équipes informatiques et les étudiants, qui ont été heureux de mettre en valeur leur maitrise du français et leur créativité.

Les prochaines étapes incluent la signature d’un protocole d’accord, l’acquisition d’équipements numériques supplémentaires, ainsi que le déploiement de nouvelles sessions de formation en 2026.
