At Parents for Bilingual Education New Brunswick (PBENB), we believe meaningful language learning extends beyond the classroom. Bridges to Bilingualism was created to help bring French language and culture to life for students across New Brunswick through authentic, engaging experiences.

‍

This funding opportunity supports teachers who are planning end-of-school-year outings, activities, or special projects that incorporate French language learning and/or Francophone cultural experiences. Whether it’s a cultural excursion, an immersive activity, or a creative classroom initiative, PBENB aims to help educators create memorable bilingual experiences that strengthen students’ connection to the French language and culture.

‍

PBENB is offering grants of up to $3,000 to support eligible initiatives. Priority will be given to French Second Language (FSL/FLL) opportunities taking place within New Brunswick.
