Institut Français du Sénégal

Léopold Sédar Senghor called this intercultural cooperation le dialogue des cultures (the dialogue of cultures).

Earlier, it was called the Centre Culturel Français de Dakar ("French cultural centre of Dakar"), or simply the Alliance Française.

The cultural centre holds concerts, dances, theatre, fashion shows, lectures, exhibitions, workshops, and festivals while the language centre offers language courses, certifications, and technology training.

French, Wolof, Spanish, and Portuguese are all taught at the language centre.
