Francophone Challenge with Over 400 Participants
This year, the ELTE Centre Interuniversitaire d’Études Françaises organized the 18th edition of its traditional Grande Dictée, attracting more than 400 participants. The contestants, primarily high school students, along with some university students and French teachers, came from all over the country, representing 23 educational institutions from 10 cities.

The dictation texts were read aloud by Claire Hunyadi, a French writer; Matthieu Berton, Director of the French Institute; Jean-François Paroz, Swiss Ambassador; and Jeroen Vergeylen, Belgian Ambassador. The event also featured a film screening, where attendees had the opportunity to watch Frédéric Mermoud's La Voie royale in its original language.
