Quebec English Language Writers to Visit Quebec Cegeps.
Aims
The aims of the programme are to introduce CEGEP students to the wide range of writing now being done in English in Quebec, and to promote language arts skills. It targets public and private CEGEPs, including francophone schools offering courses in Quebec English Literature. Financed by the Ministry of Culture and Communications, it is designed primarily, but not exclusively, for students enrolled in English literature. Events open to the greater CEGEP community are also eligible.
The Union des écrivaines et écrivains québécois, which administers a similar programme in francophone CEGEPs, acts as the interface between CEGEPs and the writers involved, aided by The Quebec Writers' Federation.
