Cultural Activity :
From Personal Memories to Cultural Dialogue
Objective:
To provide francophone youth with a unique set of 6 cards that bring personal memories to life. By sharing authentic stories from across the French-speaking world through our narrator-validated visuals, we offer a space for a joyful cultural dialogue between a student and their peers that promotes self-expression, inclusivity, social bonding, global awareness, and curiosity for francophone cultures.
Open for collaboration:
We are looking to connect with cultural ambassadors who value pluricultural diversity. Join us in delivering this unique, turnkey socio-cultural experience to the school community.

Why Participate?
Why Participate?
Identity & Language: We empower youth with diverse backgrounds to share their unique stories with their peers, giving them a platform to be heard. Every participant receives their own personalized "Francophone Album," a tangible tool to celebrate and strengthen their plurilingual and pluricultural identity within the Canadian community.
Global Awareness: This project serves as a bridge between cultures, fostering global awareness and curiosity for the Francophone world. By exploring authentic memories from different countries, students develop a deeper appreciation for international diversity.
Personal & Social Impact: We transform children’s personal experiences into a window through which the entire community can view the Francophone world. This initiative offers a secure and welcoming space for newcomers to share their origins and for travellers to share their experiences, allowing their peers to learn about different cultures in a playful, engaging way that truly speaks to kids.
