This
initiative
marks
a
new
chapter
in
a
long-standing
partnership
between
AFHK
and
Hong
Kong
Tramways,
who
have
collaborated
for
years
to
bring
French
cultural
events
to
the
streets
of
Hong
Kong—most
notably
the
Hong
Kong
French
Film
Festival,
which
has
become
a
beloved
annual
tradition
of
many
cinephiles.
The
Tram
Design
Competition
builds
on
this
legacy,
inviting
secondary
school
students
to
engage
with
French
aesthetics
through
art
and
design.
The collaboration between AFHK and Tramplus reflects a shared commitment to enriching the learning experience of Hong Kong’s youth through creativity, language, and cultural immersion. By combining AFHK’s 70+ years of expertise in French education and cultural promotion with Tramplus’s innovative approach to community placemaking, the project offers students a unique opportunity to explore French culture in a dynamic and creative format.
The competition, themed “Découverte de la Beauté Française” (Discovering French Beauty), invited secondary school students to design tram exteriors inspired by French art, fashion, innovation, and heritage. The winning design, created by Li Pui Hiu from St. Mark’s School, will be unveiled on September 8 at 10:00 am at the Whitty Street Tram Depot, in the presence of Ms. Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau. The tram will circulate through the city for four weeks, showcasing the student’s creative artwork to the public.

Forty finalists were selected for their originality and insight, and were invited to participate in AFHK’s French Taster Program on August 14. This initiative complements AFHK’s broader mission to promote French language learning in Hong Kong, especially as the DELF Junior exam becomes the stipulated assessment for French under HKDSE Category C subjects starting in 2025. As the only DELF DALF accredited examination center in Hong Kong, AFHK plays a pivotal role in preparing students for internationally recognized qualifications.
This September, AFHK is introducing an exclusive Yearly Beginner Adults Membership offer designed for beginner learners. Students can now access all four sub-levels of the A1 French curriculum for only HK$7,000—less than half the regular price of HK$14,000. The initiative underscores AFHK’s dedication to making French language education more affordable and inclusive for the broader community. Registration is now open, register to enjoy up to 50% off with the Yearly Beginner Adults Membership!
