To kick off the school year with the wealth of resources on ACCENT, we invite you to come explore how the Centre de la francophonie des Amériques and ACELF play a role in shaping young people's identities, both directly and indirectly!
Sometimes, we hear young people express difficulty finding their place in society and understanding their identity. As teachers, parents, or guardians, we can help them better understand their linguistic identity and thus develop a sense of belonging.
During this panel, we will have the pleasure of welcoming Aleksandra Grzybowska from the Centre de la francophonie des Amériques and Catherine Isabel from ACELF, who will share their thoughts on identity building and the role we can play in its development.
Date : Septembre 27, 2024
Time : 12H10 MST
Virtual panel on Zoom.
The Centre de la francophonie des Amériques, an organization of the Government of Quebec celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, contributes to building connections with the 33 million Francophones and Francophiles across the American continent. It ensures a better mutual understanding of Francophone communities.
Among its services, the Centre provides the Bibliothèque des Amériques, established in 2014 to make literature accessible to Francophones and French learners in the Americas. Some facts about the Bibliothèque des Amériques include:
A catalog of over 18,000 digital books by Francophone authors from the Americas, available for borrowing (including children's literature, comics, novels, poetry collections, essays, and practical books).

Reading suggestions.
Dynamic programming: Literary Meetings and Book Clubs.
