Educational Workshops in French

Educational workshops are a fun and engaging way to expose your students to French outside the classroom. Choose from our thematic workshops below, or email us your ideas—we’re happy to create a personalized experience for you and your students.
Workshops can take place at our Library, at your school, or online. When reaching out, please include:
  • the number of students,
  • their French level(s),
  • your preferred dates and general availability (we are closed Mondays)
Our workshops are taught entirely in immersion by experienced, native‑speaking instructors. They offer students a fresh perspective on their language learning and help them deepen their understanding of francophone cultures

Options

Eveil à la langue française / Pronunciation workshop

Expose students to the sounds and rhythms of the French language through a selection of games, songs and activities.

Voyages en francophonie / Francophone cultures workshop

Travel across the francophone world to learn about the French language in all its diversity.

Atelier culinaire / Cooking workshop

Offer your students a culinary trip to either Quebec, Maghreb or France (custom options available)
