Le Devoir — Faire de la francisation par l’art

Le français ne s’enseigne pas uniquement en salle de classe. Il se vit, il se ressent, il s’expérimente. Il en va de même pour les arts et la culture. C’est cette conviction qui a guidé l’Université Concordia à créer un programme d’immersion linguistique et culturelle à Baie-Saint-Paul. Ce projet, né d’un partenariat avec le Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul, propose à tous nos étudiants anglophones et allophones de la Faculté des beaux-arts (arts visuels, théâtre, musique, danse, cinéma, histoire de l’art et plus encore) de passer cinq semaines dans la région de Charlevoix.
