The Tunisian government has launched the first session of its Arabic language program for young Tunisians living abroad. The program, which began on October 5, 2026, is a collaboration between the Diwan of Tunisians Abroad and the Bourguiba Institute of Modern Languages. It aims to promote the Arabic language and Tunisian culture among the younger generation of Tunisians residing in non-Arabic speaking countries.
The program will run until December 11, 2026, and is part of the cultural and educational initiatives targeting young Tunisians abroad. The goal is to strengthen their connection to the Arabic language and preserve their ties to Tunisian culture and identity. The program is open to young Tunisians who have registered through the Bourguiba Institute of Modern Languages website and have submitted the required documents to the Diwan of Tunisians Abroad.
To participate, applicants must complete an initial registration on the Bourguiba Institute of Modern Languages website. They must then submit a participation request, along with supporting documents, including a copy of their Tunisian passport, foreign passport or consular card, a photo, and a guidance card. The documents must be addressed to the Director General of the Diwan of Tunisians Abroad.
The program is open to young Tunisians residing in countries where Arabic is not the primary language. The initiative is expected to attract a significant number of participants, who will have the opportunity to improve their Arabic language skills and connect with their cultural heritage. The program's organizers have set up a system for applicants to obtain more information through the Diwan of Tunisians Abroad or the social attachés at diplomatic and consular missions.
The Diwan of Tunisians Abroad has also partnered with cultural and social centers, known as "Dar Tounsi," abroad to promote the program and provide support to participants. The centers will serve as hubs for the program, providing a platform for young Tunisians to connect with their peers and access resources.
The program's launch is a significant step towards promoting the Arabic language and Tunisian culture among young Tunisians abroad. It reflects the government's commitment to preserving the cultural identity of Tunisians living abroad and promoting their connection to their homeland.
Interested applicants can obtain more information about the program by contacting the central administration of the Diwan of Tunisians Abroad or the social attachés at diplomatic and consular missions.
