Introduction
The S.F.A. Association
It was pending for a long time but now the i’s dotted
and the t’s crossed, in other words the official paperwork
was finally filed and the new association is now formed.
It is called “ Société Culturelle Franco-Allemande “
(French-German Culture Society) or SFA.
It was formally christened in the minutes of September 2007
and will join in the already existing activities in the area
of culture and education.
Its horoscope reads: “Sustain and deepen cultural and
convivial European exchanges as in Auvillar as in the region,
in the field of art and exchange of expertise”.
It is officially seated in the Auvillar city hall and its foundation
dated the 1st day of August 2007.
So will the musical program continue and be further expanded
by exchanges in the area of theatre, pottery, calligraphy and
languages studies.

Goals
The European culture existed before the political formation
of Europe in 1957 thanks to exchanges and connections between
the European people. Through the intermediary of these old bridges
which are the arts, knowledge, the morals, beliefs and religions
Europe needs to develop its identity in a modern and human world.
It is with that goal in mind that the association “Société
Culturelle Franco-Allemande” (SFA) wants to Sustain and
deepen cultural and convivial European exchanges in Auvillar
as in the region.
Exchanges have already been taking place since 1981 within the
“Société Civile Auvillaraise de Contacts
Franco-Allemands”: The “Semaine Musicales”
hosting each time around 50 German Musicians, the concerts of
the European Music Encounters, the seminars to introduce our
region to Germans and other Europeans as well as the exchanges
for craftsmen and students.
The activities of the new association aim to continue their
focus on the domains of art (music and poetry, calligraphy,
pottery, etc.).
Furthermore it can widen its field of action to exchange of
expertise (education of adults, European encounters and exchanges,
languages, etc.).
