Keven Raphael jase avec ses invités: Rêver et persévérer, un duo gagnant
Joignez-vous à Kevin Raphael et ses invités pour une discussion inspirante sur l'importance des rêves dans le parcours de vie et la persévérance scolaire.
À travers des témoignages authentiques, ils exploreront comment les aspirations nourrissent la motivation, comment le soutien d’un entourage bienveillant peut faire la différence, et pourquoi aucun rêve n’est inatteignable.

Conference My child's bilingualism - Virtual: on Zoom
For a child to blossom and achieve his or her full potential, he or she must be exposed to books and reading from an early age. But in which language(s) should children be spoken and read to: their mother tongue or the language of the host community? Do you want to expose your child to several languages, but are wondering how and when to go about it?
During this conference, we'll find the answers by looking at the following topics: children's language development, how children learn a second language, your role as a parent and the resources you can use to help.
This conference is brought to you by the Mes langues, mes livres initiative.
For elected officials
Cocktail at the National Assembly

Wednesday, February 12
10:00 a.m.
For parents and early childhood educators
Collective movement to awaken reading: Rising tide of reading
Reading is an important determinant of educational success. In addition to entertaining children, telling or reading stories helps them enrich their vocabulary, develop their ability to listen attentively and understand, and stimulate their desire to learn to communicate. Tell us how many children you'll be taking part in the Tidal Wave, and sign up! You'll then be able to give each child a certificate to mark their participation. Books are windows to the world for toddlers: every page they turn enlightens their curiosity, feeds their imagination and builds the foundations of their future.
Raz-de-marée de la lecture is an initiative of Laval's 6 coordinating offices

Webinaire La santé mentale des jeunes : l’affaire de tous
Virtuel: lien de visionnage
Les enjeux de santé mentale qui touchent les adolescents et les jeunes adultes ne datent pas d’hier, mais ils semblent s’être aggravés depuis ces dernières années. Malgré́ de nombreux indicateurs inquiétants, il importe toutefois de relativiser les choses : tous les jeunes ne sont pas aux prises avec de graves problèmes de santé mentale. Et nous ne sommes pas non plus collectivement impuissants face à̀ cette situation.
Ce webinaire de 50 minutes réuni trois panélistes qui, chacun à leur manière, travaillent pour créer des environnements plus favorables à la santé mentale des jeunes.
