Culture in the Schools

Culture in the Schools Program

http://www.mels.gouv.qc.ca/sections/cultureEducation/index_en.asp
The Culture in the Schools Program results from the merging of two previous programs : the Culture in Education Partnerships programs, implemented in 1999 by the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications (MCC), and the Measure to Support the Introduction of a Cultural Dimension into Schools, implemented in 2000 by the Ministère de l’Éducation (MEQ). By uniting these resources within a single new program and simplifying administrative processes for the cultural and school communities, the two departments hope to make it easier for public elementary and secondary schools to focus on the cultural dimension.

The Culture in the Schools Program is designed to encourage teachers, together with professionals from the field of culture—whether resource persons or organizations—to carry out projects that are in keeping with the spirit of the education reform and offer schools a window on the world. The program also supports regional projects associated with the cultural policy of specific school boards.

La culture - toute une école!
