Français Pour Tous meet-ups are all about learning or practicing French in a fun way!  This is the only BCA activity conducted primarily in French, and is a chance for all of you French speakers to come and help out those who are still learning to master the language. All levels of French speakers – from beginners to natives – are welcome to come and have a friendly and helpful chat.

A group for cinephiles. Once a month, members get together to discuss, review and deconstruct a pre-selected film with opportunities for further chats all about the world of cinema. Films range from classics to the latest theatre releases.

This is our theatre group: a group that meets regularly to practise acting techniques and to rehearse a play with the aim of delivering a showstopping performance at the beginning of the summer. The sessions follow the school calendar.

Monthly. Thursday afternoons.

Shakespeare to Shaffer, we meet to bring plays to life in a convivial atmosphere: No audience - no stress.

You’ll be sent the script and assigned a role - just bring your personality to the table.

Write~Act~Direct is a new offering:

Would you like to try your hand at writing a short play ? How about seeing it performed ?

Would you like to have a go at acting? 

How about a part in a short play? 

You have experience acting so . . .Why not go over to the other side and direct a short play?

Or you could do all three. (English proficiency required)

Monthly, Monday afternoon.

We meet at the Montpellier English Library for an informal chat about literature and anything else that takes its fancy. At the beginning of the season, members choose the books to be read each month, all of which are in English, but not necessarily from anglophone countries. Past years' selections have included writers from Africa, Australia, Canada, England, Scandinavia, Turkey and the United States.

Renowned African American poet Rita Dove once said "Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful". We couldn't agree more. The Poetry Reading group meets once a month in the MEL premises to share their favourite poems and to listen and explore poetry thanks to members' contributions.

Do you like to sing?  If, so the BCA Singing Group is for you! 

"Photo Escape Monthly Challenge" meet up, where participants share their photos on this month's theme.

This activity is designed for members who enjoy traveling within France and beyond. The idea is to share personal travel stories (including photos) while also offering tips on trip planning, travel hacks, etc.
