Educational activities
French Learners
As a citizen’s museum, the McCord Stewart Museum is committed to the integration of newcomers to Montréal. Since 2009, the Museum has offered dedicated programs especially designed for French-language immersion. Discover our exhibitions, explore our collections, and interact with our team of cultural facilitators at the Museum or online!
The Museum’s French-language immersion program aims to:
- Strengthen learnings to consolidate the acquisition of new sociohistorical knowledge on the history of Montreal and Indigenous cultures;
- Provide a space that fosters participation and intercultural exchanges by discussing historical and present-day topics.
The program is expanding! In collaboration with the team of the Direction de la formation continue et aux entreprises at Cégep du Vieux Montréal, the Education, Citizens and Cultural Action team of the McCord Stewart Museum is currently updating its offer.
