About the Center
Founded at the end of 2017, the Centrum Frankreich | Frankophonie (CFF) is broadly interdisciplinary and has members from numerous Faculties, including the School of Humanities and Social Sciences as well as the Faculties of Medicine and Mechanical Science and Engineering.
The CFF sees itself as a place for German-Francophone scientific and cultural exchange, a contact point for international cooperation and a competence broker for Francophone cultural areas.
The CFF cooperates with the DRESDEN-concept partners, supports the "Culture and Societal Change" Research Priority Area and contributes to the visibility of TU Dresden's international relations.

Excerpt from his book:
"Oui, l'Europe reste la plus grande aventure pacifique et démocratique de l'Histoire. Yes, the European Union is succeeding in cohabiting 450 million individuals, divided into 27 countries, speaking 24 languages and divided by innumerable contents. For six decades, dialogue has been disrupted and tumultuous. Yes, it is possible to overcome the scepticism of Europeans, to mobilize the peoples, to pursue this utopia so original. Europe is not lagging behind, but is moving forward. Non, incommunication is not the weakness of Europe. On the contrary, it is its originality and its strength. It is the driving force behind a different conception of political communication. La condition de la démocratie et de la paix. Europe is based on the triumph of the malentendu, the langue de bois, the dialogues de sourds. Quel projet invraisemblable ! The singularity of Europe? Apprendre à cohabiter sans nier l'autre et refondre les rapports entre identité et universalité. And tomorrow, no Europe without putting the peoples, with all their contradictions, at the center of history. L'Europe, ou les incommunications victorieuses". Dominique Wolton
- When: December 3, 2020, 19:00 ( canceled/postponed)

Scenic reading Albertine Sarrazin
" Freedom really is the worst of all vices "
A cooperation with the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden (DHMD)

In her autobiographical texts, Albertine Sarrazin deals with her own prison experiences. Sarrazin spent a large part of her youth in prisons, escaped repeatedly and finally made her breakthrough as a writer - thanks in part to the support of Simone de Beauvoir. Sarrazin's turbulent life and her authentic descriptions made the author a literary sensation in France in the 1960s, before she died in 1967 at the age of just 29.
Introduction to the topic: Dr. Matthias Kern.
