On May 22nd, Lycée Français International Denis Diderot concluded its “Month of Languages” celebrations with a vibrant multicultural evening bringing together students, families, and staff around the richness of world cultures, languages, music, and traditions.
This special event highlighted LFIDD’s commitment to international education, cultural diversity, and global citizenship within Nairobi’s international community.
A Creative Theatre Performance by 6ème Students

Combining humour, music, and creativity, the play offered families a memorable artistic moment while showcasing students’ confidence and talent on stage.
Music and International Cuisine Bringing Cultures Together
