In this new episode of the podcast, I meet with Elise Léger. If you are a French person in Australia, you probably receive emails from Elise every now and then. Being an active member of the French community is indeed one of Elise’s many hats. Elise is an elected member for the French Citizens in Australia, Fiji, Papua Guinea and she also sits at the Assembly of the French People Overseas representing French people of the Asia-Oceania region.
You would think that these roles keep her busy enough and they do but Elise is also a French teacher at the Alliance Française of Sydney and a PhD candidate.
In this conversation, we talk about the many faces of the French community in Australia. Elise tells us about her commitments led by her desire to be on the field, close to the people she represents. We also discuss why French politics still matters even when you have been living far away from your homeland for a long time.
I hope you’ll enjoy this candid and warm conversation with Elise.
Bonne écoute !
