In Sainte-Anne-du-Bocage in Caraquet, New Brunswick, Acadian artists Renée Blanchar, France Daigle, René Cormier and Allain Roy launch several community projects to bring back the former Youth Club built by Acadie’s first architect, Nazaire Dugas.
Ideal for classes on local history and grassroots culture. Research the Acadian artists featured in this film. Why is the history of the Youth Club and Nazaire Dugas important to them? How did people entertain themselves before electronic media? Identify the places in your neighbourhood where people gather as a community. Interview older residents and write a history of your neighbourhood/community. Organize a neighbourhood project like a community garden. Put on a play/variety show to entertain your school.
