Fabienne Clérot | Director Alliance Francaise Dublin

Liebe Freunde, Chers amis,
I would like to wish a very happy anniversary to the Goethe-Institut!
I am Fabienne Clerot, the director of the Alliance Francaise Dublin. Our institutions have the same age! We were both founded in Dublin at the beginning of the 60’s. We are neighbours, close friends, and strong European partners. Our predecessors have launched the EUNIC cluster and since then, we have created beautiful and meaningful events.

On a more personal level, I would like to thank Ulrike Gasser for welcoming me so warm-heartedly when I arrived in Dublin last September. I have been delighted to participate in the Culture night event and to discover the beautiful renovation of your premises.

As we begin to look forward to the next 60 years, I am happy to announce that we have many new projects and that we intend to strengthen our links and to enlarge our cooperation, by inviting our counterparts in other countries, and our peers in Ireland to join us – like we did recently with Glasgow during the Cop26.

Best wishes and greetings to the Institut, its director, the team and the students.
