À propos
The Michaëlle Jean Foundation was born out of the support for youth, arts and culture provided by the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, with the help of her husband, philosopher, filmmaker and writer Jean-Daniel Lafond. The Michaëlle Jean Foundation, the legacy of Canada’s 27th Governor General, was established in 2010. It is a national charitable organization that uses a unique intervention model, based on the power of the arts, dialogue, innovation, education, creative and social entrepreneurship, to help young Canadians across the country who have been struck by exclusion. The Foundation has successfully created programs such as the National Forum on the Power of the Arts, 4th Wall: Making the Invisible Visible, Power of Youth and the National Black Canadians Summit.
