It focuses on education and promotion of French culture through an active student internship program and hosting an annual festival to celebrate the French-speaking cultures in Seattle. Annually in March, our organization organizes the Seattle's French Fest: A Celebration of French-Speaking Cultures. This event is a part of the prestigious Seattle Center's FESTÁL cultural event series. The festival aims to embrace this diversity of French-speaking cultures in the types of activities offered at the event. It promotes the French idea of "joie de vivre" through music and dances, cooking demonstrations, film screenings, wine tastings, choirs, conferences, and more. Each year, there are live performances on the main stage featuring traditional dance and music from French-speaking countries or in the French language. The event was conducted on March 20, 2023. 16862 22338 Our organization conducts French cooking classes throughout the year that allowing participants to join in the preparation of a French-flavored meal. The classes usually were taught by Chef Jacques Boiroux, a well-known Chef and TV personality. Our cooking classes are a great way to discover French cuisine, learn tips from a professional chef, and enjoy a lively social evening. 0 0 The A L'ecole program, or France in a Suitcase, is one of the main activities of France Education Northwest (FEN). FEN interns share their French culture and language with students of all ages, from elementary school to high school. This is accomplished in one-hour presentations at the schools. These presentations are customizable, and the specific content depends on the age levels and themes or interests of the students. Interaction between the French interns and the local students gives both groups the opportunity to learn about the other group's culture. 0 0 22338 Sofia-Cristina Visan Executive Director 10 0 0 0 Didier Poirier President 1 0 0 0 Deborah Worrall Vice President 1 0 0 0 Louis Scott De Martinville Secretary 1 0 0 0 Julien Acis Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Otilia Baraboi Board Member 1 0 0 0 Blaise Bouchand Board Member 1 0 0 0 Alexandra Baldwin Board Member 1 0 0 0 Helene Ferry Kaufmann Board Member 1 0 0 0 Dominique Place Board Member 1 0 0 0 Yvan Tabellion Board Member 1 0 0 0 Sylvie Joseph-Julien Board Member 1 0 0 0 Orphee Fouano Board Member 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chris Chan 22023 78th Pl W Edmonds WA 98026 2062259384 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 4659 9090 74 18 2019 15860 38898 11055 14216 18160 70380 152709 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43557 20145 14290 18178 72399 168569 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 168569 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43557 20145 14290 18178 72399 168569 1 0.96357 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^License;90|Special Event Expenses;22338|Bank Charges;50^Total;22478^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Receivable from FACC;5594^Total;5594^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Payables;1265^Total;1265^
