Report on the First “Minority Community Vitality Through Education” Forum

From October 28 to 30, 2018, researchers, practitioners, community stakeholders and policymakers gathered at Concordia University for a three-day forum titled “Minority Community Vitality Through Education,” focusing on Quebec’s English-speaking minority population. The Forum was convened by the Inter-Level Educational Table, a committee of the Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN) at Concordia University. The objective of the Forum was to encourage mobilization around the development of a healthy and sustainable English-language educational-offer in Quebec, from pre-K to university, that leads to student retention, access to good jobs in Quebec and a strong sense of identity and belonging. The forum featured talks on many topics including Indigenous and Black education, history curriculum, regional issues, and vulnerable populations. The published report from the forum compiles the key questions, takeaways, and best practices
