Bring your artistic practice into the classroom! Learn how to design and lead cultural activities tailored to young audiences while meeting the expectations of the school system.

This training will equip you with the tools you need to design, deliver, and evaluate artistic and educational activities for schools, in keeping with your artistic approach and creative techniques.

Combining theoretical presentations, practical exercises, discussions, and individual coaching, the training will introduce you to various methods for designing and facilitating cultural and educational activities.

You will also become familiar with the requirements of the school system and the Quebec government’s La culture à l’école (Culture in Schools) program.
