Project Impact
A Travel Poster Passion Project!
Funded by Canadian Heritage and in partnership with LEARN, Project Impact empowered high school students to learn about English-speaking heritage and to familiarise themselves with their region of Québec.
With the help of Community Learning Centres, six participating high schools were invited to visit local cultural attractions and participate in community activities to win prizes and have their Heritage Passports stamped. Each region then designed and showcased a Travel Poster created by youth participants, with input from citizens and community organisations, in an effort to promote travel and tourism in their communities. Project activities and heritage assignments united school communities with local community organisations, and increased students’ understanding of English-speaking communities from various regions of Québec.
