The programme of the festival includes art exhibitions, photo projects, murals, concerts, film screenings, performances, street shows and a job fair.

“For the fourth year in a row, we have supported the French Spring festival and acted as the general sponsor. As a bank, we see our role not only in the development of the financial market, supporting business and economy of the country. We also strongly support projects promoting the French culture and language in Ukraine and facilitating communication and cultural exchange between our countries”, - Jean-Paul Piotrowski, Chief Executive Officer of Credit Agricole Bank, commented.

During the press conference held on 12 March on the occasion of the opening of the festival, Mr. Piotrowski noted that this year’s “French Spring” is special.

For the first time ever, Ukrainian and French artists will exercise their talents together and will offer a unique French and Ukrainian street performance “The Air” to the festival visitors. According to Mr. Piotrowski, the national motto of France – “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” – became the keynote of the festival.
