French for the Future promotes Canada’s official bilingualism and the immediate and lifelong benefits of learning and communicating in French to students from grades 7 to 12 across Canada. French for the Future envisions a Canada in which all young people value our French heritage, appreciate francophone cultures and endeavour to excel in the French language. Our beliefs 1. The development of strong French language proficiency will benefit youth in their personal lives and career paths. 2. The creation of relevant linguistic and cultural links among young Canadians will foster an appreciation of diversity and motivate students to persevere with their French studies. 3. Strong and personal connections will inspire students to nurture a lifelong relationship with the French language and francophone cultures.
