In a minority context, the French-speaking school is challenged to support students in their linguistic and identity construction through a cultural approach to teaching (MEDPE, 2014). Despite the recognized challenges and the efforts, the school does not succeed in countering assimilation (Statistics Canada, 2012) and the challenges related to teaching persist (FCE, 2014). From the perspective of creativity as proposed by Boudreau (2014), Gélinas-Proulx (2014) recommends informal training to overcome these challenges. As part of continuing education, the Forum Francophone sur l’Apprentissage (francophone conference on education and learning) allows for a collective reflection on the winning conditions that promote solutions. The province of New Brunswick, Canada, welcomes this event which is based on shared cultural leadership and which aims at a broader understanding of linguistic and cultural issues, as well as at the development of skills based on the commitment of those involved (Luc, 2010). This presentation examines the reciprocal influence of school, university and community settings on their individual and collective power in societal and educational advancement by looking at the challenges related, among other things, to the mobilization of resources by the various partners involved (Lacroix, 2018). The sharing of knowledge and skills promotes commitment in order to develop creative training initiatives intended specifically for professionals looking for innovative and hopeful solutions for the influence of the language and culture of French-speaking schools in a minority context.
