CAMPAIGN PROMOTING STUDENT RETENTION AND EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS
As you know, the pandemic has had a significantly impact our young people’s activities, especially their educations. The next school year will bring its share of challenges for many among them. This is why Puamun Meshkenu is organizing a Campaign Promoting School Retention and Educational Success.
Its main aim is to raise awareness and involve and engage Indigenous youth, their families and all community stakeholders around our young people’s educational perseverance and success.
We will broadcast inspiring video clips and share motivating activities at various times through the school year on the Campaign’s Facebook page:

We are very pleased introduce Indigenous public figures who will join us in encouraging Indigenous youth to stay in school. As soon as school starts, you will be able to hear their personal stories about their own school perseverance and educational success.
