Celebrating Language and Culture: Franco Nord Brings Grade 8 Students Together

Franco Nord marked a fantastic success as the first major event organized by ASDN in partnership with the Centre of Excellence for Language Learning (COELL), bringing together Grade 8 students for a full day of immersive French experiences.

The day was filled with energy, enthusiasm, and discovery, as students engaged in a variety of activities designed to build confidence, spark curiosity, and celebrate the value of learning a second language in meaningful and enjoyable ways.

The event began with a heartfelt and inspiring message from Véronique Arsenault, who spoke about the importance and long-term benefits of learning a second language. Her words helped set the tone for a day focused on exploration, connection, and cultural appreciation.

Throughout the day, students selected two workshops from six engaging options: Art and Music, Perfect Parfait, Sugar Shack, Yoga, Mini-Drones, and the Loup-garou game. These sessions offered something for every interest, allowing students to explore French through creative expression, hands-on learning, movement, and play.

The day concluded on a high note with a special cultural experience featuring performances by Jacques Surrett and Denis Surett, bringing everyone together in a memorable and unifying celebration of music and language.

Overall, Franco Nord was an inspiring and dynamic celebration of language and culture that left a lasting impression on all involved.
