One of College Nurse Julie Gosselin鈥檚 student health ambassadors reported: 鈥淭he participants really enjoyed the event and they liked their free merch. People seemed to really enjoy the Pound session as well since most of them had never done it before

Contes et causerie 脿 Dawson pour la Francof锚te
April 5th, 2023
Le conteur et nomade contemporain Fran莽ois Lavall茅e a fait escale 脿 Dawson le 30 mars pour un 茅v茅nement dans le cadre de la semaine de la Francof锚te.
芦Je pratique un des plus vieux m茅tiers dans le monde, dit Fran莽ois au d茅but de la soir茅e. Les histoires nous aident 脿 collaborer pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Dans l'ancien temps, le troubadour 茅tait le premier 脿 franchir la ligne de l鈥檈nnemie.禄
芦Quand on entend une bonne histoire, on s鈥檃ccroche.听Souvent, on raconte les souvenirs. Quand on raconte nos souvenirs, c鈥檈st diff茅rent de notre v茅cu.禄
Fran莽ois a partag茅 un souvenir d'enfance datant de 1986. Apr猫s 37 ans, il dit que c'est sa m茅moire et son imagination qui lui permettent de faire revivre l'histoire. Il a termin茅 sa visite avec 芦Le ruisseau禄, un extrait de son dernier spectacle
