Who are we?

FISPE

The FISPE Association, short for "French for Social and Professional Integration in Europe," is a private, impartial, and non-profit entity, independent from public authorities and financial interests. Its goal is to promote the social and professional integration of immigrants in France.
FISPE operates through three major pillars: providing French courses and workshops for immigrants, developing educational resources and training for social and professional support within European projects, and actively participating in local initiatives, including the "Rentrée Partagée" (Shared Start of the School Year) in the 17th and 18th arrondissements.
