We actively support higher education in French for minority communities throughout Canada, particularly in sensitive fields that convey identities, such as justice, health care and education. The French language is the foundation of our international community. We wish to contribute to the promotion and impact of Francophone culture through education and research, while we give the Francophonie its due.
