The Fédération des parents francophones de l’Alberta runs workshops aimed at improving parenting skills.
These workshops make it possible to further explore the diversity of parents as well as their specific needs, to respond to their interests while maintaining the offer of practical tools to support them in their role as primary educators. In addition, these workshops are an opportunity for parents to have access to a certain networking context, which promotes exchanges as well as the sharing of experiences.
Most of our workshops are in French. However, we do offer two workshops in English as you can see below.
If you would like us to host one of these workshops at your school, please contact us at info@fpfa.ab.ca.
Step 1 - Choose the subject
I want my child to speak French. How can I help?
This session is held in English and is destined to provide parents who do not speak French with the tools and resources to help their child develop their French language skills. As a non-French speaking parent, you don’t need to learn the language to support your child’s language acquisition. This session will address parents’ concerns and provide resources and supports.
Francophone school or Immersion school: what is best for my child?
What is the difference between French language school and immersion? Join this discussion session to learn about all the education choices for your child. Will my child be ready for school when the time comes? What can I do to make sure they’re ready?
Step 2 - Organize the evening

You need to choose:
