The first Alliance was founded in Paris in 1883 and nowadays there are nearly 1000 such associations throughout the world, including 10 centres in New Zealand.
The Alliance Francaise Auckland offers French language classes to both adults and children and organises social and cultural events (exhibitions, concerts, cinema…). Being a not for profit organisation supported by the French Embassy, fees charged are only intended to cover expenses.

The Alliance française promotes cultural diversity and an idea of globalisation respectful of differences. There is no need to be fluent in French to be a member of our Alliance and enjoy our activities as most of our events are bilingual.

It aims to address the alienation felt by many young Chinese migrants who are prevented from involvement in the mainstream community due to language and cultural barriers. Through the Chinese Youth Developmental Programme, the Trust hopes to encourage the development of positive interests from a young age, to promote local community involvement, and to provide these youths with positive social and support networks to build self-esteem and a sense of belonging.
