Alliance Française de Dhaka in Dhanmondi, Dhaka

Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD), a nonprofit organization, has worked in Bangladesh since 1959. Located in the heart of the capital, the Alliance Française de Dhaka is in Dhanmondi, the nature of Bangladesh's cultural and artistic activities. The Alliance Française de Dhaka is sometimes referred to as the French Cultural Center. Our primary function is to promote the French culture, especially the French language, to the local people and, simultaneously, to promote the local culture in France. It is run by an executive committee formed by some local notables who are enthusiasts of French culture.

At AFD, one can immerse oneself in French within an exceptional environment: unparalleled teaching quality, modern teaching methods, and multimedia resources, as well as through its two art galleries, impressive auditorium, French café, and many other services. Our French courses conform to the CEFR and are offered for each level.

As of 2021, AFD operates at two locations: Dhanmondi and Gulshan.

Every year, more than 6,000 students learn French at Alliance Française de Dhaka, about 2,500 enroll in the workshop courses; and thousands of art lovers and connoisseurs visit for the variety of cultural activities AFD offers.
