Cultural activities at the ILCF

The Cultural Activities Department at the helm

The role of the Cultural Activities Department is to welcome and support all ILCF students throughout their stay. Members of the office are in direct contact with students as soon as they arrive, to answer their questions and direct them to the appropriate services.

An "à la carte" program

Studying at the ILCF isn't just about taking classes and passing exams, it's also about enjoying the culture and life of the city. That's why our team offers an enriching cultural program in and around Lyon.

What does this program consist of? It consists of outings, guided tours and tastings at the university, in Lyon and the surrounding area. Enjoy a wide range of experiences: excursions to Annecy and its lake, a tour of the medieval city of Pérouges, dinner with Lyon families, etc.

All activities are supervised by professional, experienced activity leaders. They'll also be able to inform you about the local cultural scene and give you their suggestions and tips for going out on the town.

Activities are put together in line with Lyon's events, and sometimes in collaboration with cultural players such as Greater Lyon, the Célestins theater or the Musée des Confluences. UCLy offers many additional activities thanks to the Pôle International, which accompanies all the university's international students.

Participating in this program gives you the opportunity to practice your French outside the classroom, immerse yourself in the local culture and spend a great time with friends.

Listening to your initiatives

When students have ideas for activities, they can submit them to the team who will assist them in organizing them. The office is also the place to go for information on local cultural life. Every year, a BDE is elected at the ILCF, in charge of its own program!
