Workshops on educational methods adapted to Quebec
Rédaction Intexto ·
This series brought together about forty participants in hybrid mode (in-person and online).
The community organization LAKAY held, on Saturday May 23, 2026, the final session of its workshop series entitled "Educational Methods Adapted to the Quebec Context," at its Repentigny location.
Aimed at parents from cultural communities in the Lanaudière region, this series brought together about forty participants in hybrid mode (in-person and online).
Composed of four two-hour sessions each, the series aimed to support immigrant and racialized families in their understanding of educational norms, children's rights and valued parenting practices in Quebec.
The initiative sought to prevent cultural misunderstandings, promote harmonious family integration and strengthen the protection and well-being of children from diverse backgrounds.
"These workshops allowed me to better understand the Quebec system and review some of my practices. I now feel better equipped to support my children while respecting our family values," testified a mother who followed the entire program.
For Pierre Richard Thomas, director of LAKAY, the results are very positive: "Our role is to build bridges between families from diverse backgrounds and Quebec society. These workshops address a real need: offering a space for dialogue, mutual learning and prevention. The strong participation confirms the relevance of this approach for our communities."
Given the enthusiasm generated, LAKAY announces that a new workshop series will be held soon, from September to December 2026. Registration will open during the summer.
