What is it? A mentoring project in which newly-registered stu-dents will be able to be matched to another student who wants to share their experience, their knowl-edge and their personal strategies.
What are the objectives? To promote the integration of new students and en- courage perseverance at school.
When is it? Project Share will extend throughout the entire Fall session, starting in August 2010 and ending in December 2010.
What will I get out of it? It’s a unique opportunity to let your experience as a student benefit others and to gain ex-perience in helping relationships. Mentors will receive an attestation confirming their par-ticipation in the project, which could be an interesting addition to the curriculum vitae! Mentors also have a chance to win a number of participation prizes…
Want to become a mentor?

EUROSTAGE 2009-10
For the Eurostage project coordinated by UQAT, eight of us (students in 2nd-year preschool educa-tion and primary teaching) left Canada last May to do a practicum in France, in the city of Troyes.
This trip allowed us to make delightful discoveries on cultural and professional levels, and our pre-sence in French schools enabled us to meet delightful people.
The experience was a very enriching one: we came back to Quebec with our heads full of new ideas
and good memories.
