to learn…
Cultural and educational organizations have joined Alliance Française Toronto to offer your children the opportunities for self realization and having fun in French during their upcoming holidays.

The goal of Le Labo is to introduce your youth to media art and give them tools to understand it, play with it, and create their own art path. They’ll understand photographs, videos and any contemporary digital work to make art on their own. )RU PRUH LQIRUPDWLRQ &DUROLQD 5HLV ƀ LQIR#OHODER FD ƀ
