Digital Platform

The French-American Foundation created a digital platform to maintain our commitment to transatlantic dialogue while we suspend in-person events during the COVID-19 crisis.

Our initiative is still in development. At this stage, we organize a webinars & meetings with guest speakers to discuss their areas of expertise with our wider community. The events are free and open to the public, and take place over the video conference platform Zoom. In addition, we send out a newsletter throughout the month with global headlines, upcoming digital events, and more.
