«Mon plus grand réalisation a été l’année dernière, quand j’ai appris combien il y avait de pays francophones. Cela me incite a cree une semaine complete d’activities amusantes, la nourriture et la musique pour tous les gens dans Vic High pour apprendre a propos des différents cultures. C’etait la semaine FRANCOFUN. »
My biggest achievement was last year, when I learned how many French-speaking countries there were. This inspired me to create a full week of fun activities, food and music for everyone in Vic High to learn about different cultures. The week was called FRANCOFUN.

Enfin, je crois que ce programme est une opportunité incroyable et gratuite pour les jeunes qui ont envie d'explorer la culture bilingue du Canada. »

I would say that learning French improves students' confidence to express themselves in a varied and profound way by giving them a platform to better articulate themselves, not only in French but in their native language. Finally, I believe that this program is an incredible and free opportunity for young people who want to explore the bilingual culture of Canada.
