« La Grande Aventure Entrepreneuriale » is in full swing in Rouyn-Noranda - November 2012
Since September, CEDEC has been involved in "La Grande Aventure". Because of CEDEC's involvement, Noranda School has been participating in the local entrepreneurship awareness effort; a project led by the Centre ressources jeunesse de Abitibi Temiscamingue
"Presque héros" was the lead-in activity involving grade 5 and 6 Noranda School students. Stéphanie Trahan, entrepreneurship awareness agent working for the Centre ressources jeunesse de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue, began the workshop by explaining what entrepreneurship skills are. This explanation preceded an activity in which the students had to figure out which entrepreneurial skills were demonstrated in excerpts from popular children's movies.
The class thoroughly enjoyed the activity and demonstrated wonderful skills at identifying entrepreneurial behaviours.
The same class participated in a drawing contest "Draw me Entrepreneurship". The contest was an inter-school drawing competition which purpose was to create a poster for the seminar "À chacun son défi". Three prizes were given out to the finalists: first prize went to a student from a local French school, and second and third prizes went to two Noranda School students.
On November 14th the same students will be participating in a "Design you own Game" workshop during the one day seminar "À chacun son Défi". Once again CEDEC's collaboration with the Grande Aventure has opened doors for Noranda School students to participate in projects of this type.
Without a doubt, entrepreneurship awareness has reached the younger crowd who, once all grown up, will have integrated the entrepreneurial process and developed confidence in their ability to become entrepreneurs.
