Dates: November 3, 4 and 5, 2021

Time: 12:30 – 4 PM per day

Format: Online

Focusing on the needs of Quebec’s English-language education system, this event will bring together researchers, practitioners, community stakeholders and policy-makers to share and discuss best practices and initiatives that support our diverse communities.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

Identify strategies for an inclusive and quality English-language educational offer

Present findings on the impact of the global health pandemic on education

Share experiences of current educational challenges

The Education and Vitality Forum is organized by the Inter-Level Educational Table (ILET), which brings together representatives of Quebec’s English-language educational institutions and associations, along with community groups and the public sector. ILET is a key initiative of the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN), a collaborative network of researchers, stakeholders, and educational and other institutions. Established in 2008 and housed at Concordia University's School of Community and Public Affairs, QUESCREN aims to improve how Quebec’s English-speaking communities are understood and to promote their vitality.

This event is made possible through the financial support of the Secrétariat aux relations avec les Québécois d'expression anglaise, the Department of Canadian Heritage, and Concordia University.
