“To think is to take action!”

In 2026, the Alliance Française in Halifax continues to develop its “Apéros des idées” series with L’Alliance Pense. Designed to spark discussion and the sharing of ideas and knowledge, this format is an extension of the Alliance’s commitments: a commitment that sincerely takes into account the environment, society, and the people who inhabit it.

This format is supported by the Government of Nova Scotia.
