In November, the Union de la Jeunesse Congolaise d’Ottawa-Gatineau (UJC-OG) had the privilege of taking part in the official launch of a non-profit organization (NPO) dedicated to international education. This ambitious initiative, led by the International Education team of the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE), marks a significant turning point for the future of the Franco-Ontarian community.
By bringing together key players from the education, community and institutional sectors, the event symbolizes a collective commitment to promoting the French language and Francophone values on the international stage. The NPO, whose mission is rooted in a vision of openness and collaboration, aims to attract international students while strengthening intercultural and educational exchanges.
For the UJC-OG, this organization is a concrete response to the challenges of sustaining the Francophonie in Ontario. “As an active partner of the community, the UJC-OG applauds this step forward and renews its support for all initiatives that promote the vitality of young people and the reach of the French language,” said Ferdinand Djiunyo, founding president of the Union de la Jeunesse Congolaise Ottawa-Gatineau.
The UJC-OG therefore extends its sincere congratulations to the entire CECCE International Education team on this remarkable achievement.
