AFTV 2025 Conference#FrenchForward

Wellness Activities

We're thrilled to announce our wellness activities for the #FrenchForward conference in November!

Melbourne Djembe

Melbourne Djembe is a creative company specialising in west African drum and dance led by Mitzi McRae and Simon Lewis. Throughout their travels they have discovered the joy or language learning and the extent of la francophonie across the African continent. The team - plus Senegalese master drummer Bouba Gaye - now runs high energy, inspiring incursions in schools across Victoria.

What to expect on the day

Mitzi, Simon and Bouba will take you on a journey to Senegal to explore West African rhythms and dance. Each participant will play the djembe and find out how multiple languages form the backbone of the culture and music.

📅  Thursday 27 November 2025 

⏰  4.15pm - 5.15pm
