A collaboration between the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) and Culture pour tous, the Solange-Chalvin award highlights and recognizes the efforts made by immigrants who are learning or have learned French in Quebec as well as the outstanding contributions of teaching staff and French teaching organizations that accompany them through their language learning process.
The award has four components:
- Adults who have followed or are following a French-language learning path in Quebec;
- Teachers from the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI);
- MIFI’s partners in learning French (sub-categories: non-profit organizations (NPOs) and educational institutions);
- Volunteer who accompanies people learning French within a partner organization in francization.
The Solange-Chalvin Award will be presented during the Semaine québécoise des rencontres interculturelles, taking place in November 2024.
Finalists will be presented with videos highlighting their backgrounds and achievements. Winners will receive an original work by a Quebec artist.
