Promoting perseverance within the community

 

Various tools were developed with the following objectives in mind:

• to increase awareness related to dropping out  in different areas in Estrie, and reasons to get involved;
• to propose an approach for community mobilization with regard to student perseverance and academic success;
• to guide elected officials and leaders in the community in the choice of actions most likely to have a positive impact on qualification and graduation in their area;
• to promote the development of the humane, social, cultural and economic components of a community.
