International Forum on Cultural Mediation:
a resounding success with over 350 participants!
On December 4 and 5 Culture pour tous held its 5th forum on the evolution of cultural democratization practices at the Pavillon Sherbrooke of the Université du Québec à Montréal.
The presence of 30 guests from Quebec and Canada, Spain, the US, France and the UK as well as an audience of 350 very attentive participants contributed to the convivial atmosphere of this international encounter.
For those who were not able to attend the colloquium proceedings will be made available in February 2009 at www.culturepourtous.ca/forum.
 Setting up of an honorary committee
Marieke Tremblay, Vice-President, Corporate Affairs, at Molson Canada, and a member of the Culture pour tous Board of directors, will preside this brand new Art at Work committee. Its mandate is to encourage companies to welcome artists to create works with their employees.

 The electronic cultural logbook:
L’École branchée.com’s Coup de Cœur
The electronic cultural logbook received the Coup de Coeur mention in the annual 2008–2009 Arts du Guide section of the l’Écolebranchée.com magazine.
A reference tool that teachers frequently use, this annual guide, now in its 7th edition, lists quality sites and classifies them according to school subjects. The electronic cultural logbook stood out among hundreds of educational sites. Louise Prieur, a former teacher, developed the content of this interactive site and the Trafic 3W team oversaw its design and web integration.
New Interactive Games
Four new games are now available in the Cultural Logbook, which brings the number of games in the section Je decouvre les arts to eight and thus bolsters the over fifty educational activities proposed on the site.

 Mark you calendars:
the 13th edition of the Journées de la culture will take place on September 25, 26 and 27, 2009.
