Touring Le Monde Francophone

5/30/2018

Erin Taylor, Communications Officer

From Belgium to the Ivory Coast to Louisiana to Vietnam, French is spoken all over the world and in very different cultural contexts. Through the Culture Fair, Grade 7 and 8 Enriched French students learned about the diversity of the French-speaking world, and about the global importance of French as a language.

Students selected a francophone country or region to research. They delved into different aspects of the culture such as sports, food and arts, as well as the history, geography, and economy. They put together poster boards displaying the information and held a culture fair, where they could also see what their peers had been researching.

The French Culture Fair was a great way to learn about French in a global context, and get excited about the different doors that speaking French can open.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
