Francophone Session – Session en français Connexion à la communauté et la culture: Rachelle Blanchette et Muriel Howden
Durant cette séance, nous allons nous engager dans la réflexion critique sur ce que cela veut dire pour les programmes de la petite enfance d’avoir une relation réciproque avec les communautés et cultures Francophones.
