In an effort to anchor its citizen action in both the advancement of the history of all Montrealers and the development of French language skills, Pointe-à-Callière launched a new educational and cultural project in 2018: Nous sommes Montréal. As part of this initiative, poet and author Karim Akouche acted as a volunteer guide for students at Marguerite-De Lajemmerais School as they created three collective fictional narratives on the history of Montréal. The starting point for the story: a visit to Pointe-à-Callière, the birthplace of Montréal, which gave three classes of 15-year-olds and their teachers—Marie-Mylène Allard and Philippe Couture—the opportunity to travel through time.
Nous sommes Montréal is a project made possible through the financial support of the Government of Québec and the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications’ program for the promotion of French.
