Le DEFI Inter-Alliances is back!

The DEFI Inter-Alliances is an online competition among students of the Alliance Française chapters around the world. Participants compete with each other to answer questions on French and Francophone cultures: art, gastronomy, history, music, sport, etc.

The competition consists of three rounds, all of which will take place online:

  • Our local round will take place on Friday, November 10 at 5:00 p.m. EST. AFDC participants will be asked to answer a 20-question quiz.
  • The 2 winners will represent AFDC during the national round (25 questions) which will be held on Wednesday, November 15 at 7:00 p.m. EST. They will face the winners of other Alliances in the US.
  • The 2 national winners will participate in the international final round (30 questions) on Sunday, December 3 at 2:00 p.m. Paris. They will face participants from all over the world!
