April 18, 2018: Closing ceremony for 2018 cohort of Avant-Garde@CIRANO
|
|
The final meeting of Avant-Garde@CIRANO's class of 2018 was held on April 18. During this event Avant-gardistes occupied centre stage as several of them presented projects in keeping with the theme this year — Education in Quebec: where we stand, conditions for success, and prospects for the future. Their speeches were preceded by a presentation of Québec économique 7: Éducation et capital humain, by Stéphanie Lapierre, CIRANO Project Director. In terms of the content of the presentations, the excellence of the speakers, and its choice of topics vital to Quebec and its young leaders, the four meetings of the class of 2018 posted a very positive outcome.
