Here are the recipients of the FATFA Language Pedagogy Bursary 2025 and the projects they completed across Australia. Each recipient received $250 or $500 to support activities that promote the teaching and learning of French. The projects took place in different states and reflect a wide range of ideas and classroom practices. Together, they show how the bursary supports French education at a local level.
