28. novembrī visā pasaulē tika atzīmēta starptautiskā Frankofonijas un franču valodas pasniedzēju diena. Arī Humanitāro zinātņu fakultātē norisinājās pasākums par godu šim notikumam, turklāt vēl nebijušā formātā – to rīkoja HZF studenti, un tas pulcēja vairākus desmitus skolēnu un skolotāju no izglītības iestādēm, kurās apgūst franču valodu. Pasākuma pirmo daļu vadīja franču filoloģijas bakalaura studiju programmas studentes, kas vasarā devās Erasmus+ jaunatnes interešu izglītības braucienā uz Franciju, kur piedalījās astronomijas un vides zinību kursos. Tā kā šajos kursos uzsvars tika likts uz jauniešu ieinteresēšanu apkārtējās vides un izplatījuma izziņā, arī šeit apmeklētājiem tika stāstīts par Saules sistēmas planētām, to īpašībām un atšķirībām. Tam sekoja darbs grupās – uzzīmēt kādu no šīm planētām un to prezentēt. Šī aktivitāte noslēdzās ar liela Saules sistēmas modeļa kopīgu izveidošanu. Pasākuma otrajā daļā Romāņu valodu un kultūru studiju maģistra studiju programmas
