The Vocational Instructor of Alliance Fran\u00e7aise Medan<\/span><\/span>, Sylvain Lelong Lacroix, visited Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara<\/span><\/span> (UMSU) to explore opportunities for international collaboration in the fields of language, culture, and education. The meeting was held at the VIP Room of the UMSU Campus on Jalan Muchtar Basri No. 3, Medan, Tuesday (February 3).<\/p>\n

During the visit, Sylvain expressed his commitment to fostering collaboration and organizing various French language and cultural programs. Proposed initiatives include the Warung Prancis<\/em> (French Corner) program, French film screenings, and French language courses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fully support UMSU in organizing language-related activities. I am very eager to collaborate with UMSU, starting with the Warung Prancis program. Alliance Fran\u00e7aise can also contribute ideas for various initiatives and learning programs related to French language and culture,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He added that Alliance Fran\u00e7aise is prepared to offer flexible schedules and learning schemes tailored to the needs of UMSU\u2019s academic community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith regard to French language instruction, we can propose several flexible learning schedules,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

UMSU Vice Rector III, Dr. Rudianto, M.Si, warmly welcomed the collaboration initiative. He explained that UMSU has maintained longstanding ties with France and remains open to establishing special French language classes, either through its Language Center (PUSBA) or international learning programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly support this initiative. If there is a need for language development, it will certainly enhance student competencies and further UMSU\u2019s internationalization efforts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The meeting also highlighted UMSU\u2019s international track record, including three academic visits to France. Additionally, opportunities for UMSU students to serve as volunteers in activities organized by Alliance Fran\u00e7aise were discussed.<\/p>\n

Plans were also proposed for French-language radio programs on UMSU FM, aiming to promote French language and culture within the campus community and the wider public.<\/p>\n

Also in attendance were OIC Chair Rafiqah Nalar Rizky, S.Sos., M.A., PUSBA Secretary Rizka Elfira, S.S., M.Si., and representatives from Alliance Fran\u00e7aise Medan, Nur Hidayah and Ghea Panjaitan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This visit is expected to serve as an initial step toward a strategic partnership between UMSU and Alliance Fran\u00e7aise, strengthening students\u2019 global competencies and expanding international networks in language and cultural exchange.<\/p>\n
