This year, the French for the Future Halifax Local Forum will take place on November 13 and 14, 2024, at Mount Saint Vincent University. November 13 will be dedicated to grade 7 and 8 students, while November 14 will focus on grade 9 to 12 students. We are expecting approximately 350 students each day, from both English and French schools in the Halifax area.
Throughout these fully French days, participants will engage in interactive and entertaining workshops. These sessions will not only be educational but also fun, allowing students to connect with peers from various linguistic communities while exploring Acadian and French culture.
