École Sainte-Hélène in Saint-Henri-de-Taillon, initiated by Langage Plus art centre, 2019

Thanks to the support of the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications, which aims to support cultural offerings in education, the Langage Plus art centre, in partnership with the Centre SAGAMIE (Alma), launched a pan-Canadian call for proposals in 2019.The Forêt-école was selected to carry out a two-month, full-time project with students from the École Sainte-Hélène (ages 5-12) in Saint-Henri-de-Taillon, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. The project was to include educational creative workshops and the creation of a permanent artwork reflecting the artistic experience with the students that would belong to the École Sainte-Hélène.
