  • La francophonie canadienne vit à travers l’expression culturelle et l’enthousiasme des jeunes. Le programme PassepART est une initiative pancanadienne qui vise à encourager les partenariats entre les écoles francophones en situation minoritaire et les organismes artistiques, culturels et communautaires grâce à du microfinancement.

    Il s’agit là d’une occasion en or pour augmenter la portée de la francophonie au Canada en stimulant ce qui en fait toute la richesse! PassepART donne les moyens de créer de nouvelles expériences en français pour les jeunes par le biais d’activités artistiques, culturelles et patrimoniales.

    Chacune des écoles de la francophonie canadienne a ainsi droit à chaque année à une microsubvention de 1 500 $ ! Les microsubventions sont directement octroyées aux organismes admissibles qui auront établi un partenariat avec une ou plusieurs écoles admissibles.
