Oups, this website is outdated! But Dialogue McGill has a new website!
Measure 3 involves seminars and conferences aimed at professionals receiving language training, training organizations, educational institutions, agencies, health and social services centres and their local network partners, community organizations, as well as English-speaking communities across the province of Quebec. The measure’s main objective is to facilitate communication between professionals and sharing of best practices in a multidisciplinary context. The conferences also represent an opportunity to advertise the McGill project with French-speaking groups outside of Quebec responsible for the implementation of human resources development and training programs.
