$40,000 approved for a bilingual theatre production for youth by youth!
VEQ is excited to announce the approval of funding from Canadian Heritage’s Enhancement of Official Languages Program – Promotion of Linguistic Duality for Collective Voices: a bilingual youth theatre project creating open dialogue.
This project intends to create, produce and present a bilingual theatre piece for youth by youth as a creative medium to facilitate dialogue between Francophone and Anglophone youth by building the project’s layout and content around their experiences with languages.
