1. PIONEERS is made for those who agree that age makes no difference. What counts is that you're willing to share your dreams, your hopes, your views and your experience, just like a true PIONEER;

AustraliaFranceAuRA has chosen Evonne Goolagong-Cawley, as our source of inspiration and portrait of Australia's contemporary pioneers.

Membership starts at 80€ and covers 4 special topic evenings designed to introduce our French friends to those backstage areas of the Australian scene and how it compares to French expectations. To put it simply, you're in for a lot of surprises but that's not where it all ends.

Once you've made friends you'll probably want a little more that you'll get at a special membership rate.

- time out for special events with partner clubs

- organized group outings (film festivals, art exhibitions, special guest talks)

- and last but not least the 'haunt-of-the-month' chit-chat session over coffee or a drink to practise your language skills in an easy-going way in a new venue each time.

AustraliaFranceAuRA prizes all the members who choose to join our BEST MATES community as each new member is a step closer to achieving our common goals:

This is how your fellow BEST MATES have chosen to contribute :

- Connecting people and projects between Lyon, the Auvergne Rhone Alpes Region and Australia.  

- Sharing & Promoting know-how, knowledge & skills of our respective nationals.
