Glendon Project Brings Together the French Community  

Camerise is a community-driven project designed to bring together students, educators, administrators, parents, and French as a Second Language (FSL) organizations in order to support intersectoral collaboration. The project is piloted by York University’s Glendon College and supported by a grant from Canadian Heritage and the Ontario Ministry of Education. 

The goal of Camerise is to address systemic challenges and find solutions that will facilitate access to FSL programs across the country in order to sustain Canadian bilingualism. 

In its first year, Camerise consulted the FSL community and teachers expressed a need for quick and reliable access to resources in one place. Therefore, they started with the creation of a database that allows you to browse through the collection of resources, provide reviews and comments, and add, organize, share your preferred resources 

Now in its second year, the project is planning to add more functionalities that support collaboration such as: match-making tools; possibilities to co-create and adapt lesson plans; discussion forums; opportunities to find relevant conferences, professional development events, research collaborations, and more.
