    In this show, students are part of the set, listening to the warm, authentic voice of Emily Marie Séguin, an actress and musician of French and Anishinaabek descent. The Voyageurs Immobiles team promises a forest, but not just any forest, one in which the students participate, one born of the meeting of a drum, a cello and melting ice, one from which we emerge a little happier and more alive.

    "And so, settled in the center of the set, like the core of this story, the children wait, on the lookout for all the noises, colors and gestures of the three artists around them." Marie Fradette, Le Devoir.

    Conversation : Comment aider ses enfants à bâtir leur confiance en soi

    Presented by Parent Partners in Education

    As their children's first educators, parents play a crucial role in shaping their children's self-image and self-confidence.
    Join us for an evening of parent-to-parent conversation as we tackle key issues such as :

    - What strategies can help children develop a positive self-image?
    - How can we help children develop self-confidence and face life's challenges with resilience?
    - How can we support children so that they can take their future into their own hands with confidence?

    This interactive workshop is designed to be a place for exchange and sharing. Parents and guardians are invited to share their experiences, thoughts and ideas, in a friendly and caring atmosphere.

    Free registration
