So what exactly is “Who Wants to Be a Francophile”?
Forget everything you knew about lectures. This is not another boring presentation with cluttered slides. This is an experience! I come to you with a fast-paced, humorous trivia quiz about everything French. You, the audience, participate, guess, laugh and most importantly – learn on the go.
What will you discover in the lecture?
- Why is the English anthem actually…French?
- Which royal mistress made the Star of David her symbol?
- How did the baguette become popular?
- What is the connection between the Simpsons and a 19th-century Romantic poet?
- And quite a bit of information that will allow you to look up to Emmanuel Halperin, if you suddenly meet him on the street.
Wait! Who is this for?
- Human resources and community managers looking for a fun activity for their employees (this can be combined with French wine and cheese).
- People looking for a lecture for a private event (birthday, friends' gatherings, etc.).
- Anyone who is organizing a weekend/conference of several days and is looking for a different and unique guest lecture with a lot of escapism and humor.
- Community, cultural, and welfare managers in various organizations (municipalities, assisted living, etc.) who are looking for fun social/cultural activities.
A few words about the lecturer
One question in the heart of a castle in the Loire Valley made 10-year-old Zvi Hazanov become a Francophile (how and why? We'll find out in the lecture 🙂 ). Since then, he has read hundreds of books on French history, graduated with honors with a degree in culture France at the Hebrew University and visited France dozens of times (how many? He had long since stopped counting).
All this was not enough for him, and in 2013 he founded the website “Francophiles Anonymous,” which is visited by between 30-50 thousand people each month. With its help, he shares his love of France and its culture to this day with a community of tens of thousands of Francophiles.
Oh, and in his free time he also cultivates an international career in high-tech that has sent him to live on a small island called Guernsey, where he lost 15-3 to Victor Hugo in a contest to see who could live the longest on a small island between England and France.
