SUMMER STRATEGY: STAYING THE COURSE FOR OUR YOUTH'S SUCCESS! ☀️
|
|
Summer break feels good… but it can also weaken certain learning gains. More vulnerable youth—such as allophone students, those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and those with learning difficulties—may sometimes experience a “summer setback” and return to school with diminished skills. |
|
To support educational success during the summer period, R3USSIR offers you a wide range of resources, ready-to-use tools, and fun activities. Discover everything we have to offer!

Lire, compter, cliquer: Follow the Progress of This Innovative Project |
|
|
|
Excellent news! The project led by R3USSIR and Loisirs Fleuri-Est, which aims to better equip Sherbrooke day camp teams to welcome youth from recent immigrant backgrounds, is back this year, building on the positive outcomes previously observed.
Supported by the City of Sherbrooke for the next two years through the Sherbrooke, Welcoming Community 2026–2028 program, and enhanced by the expertise of the Service d’aide aux Néo-Canadiens (SANC), the project will provide camp staff with training, practical tools, and on-site support to strengthen inclusive practices.
The recruitment of youth from recent immigrant backgrounds will be carried out in close collaboration with the Centre de services scolaire de la Région-de-Sherbrooke (CSSRS) and the CSSRS Students’ Foundation, with support from SANC, in order to reach families who can fully benefit from the program.
This project is made possible through the financial participation of the Government of Quebec, the City of Sherbrooke, and the CSSRS Students’ Foundation. It is based on a program and materials developed by Réseau réussite Montréal, whose implementation conditions are grounded in an action-research approach led by the University of Montreal (Canada Research Chair on Schooling, Well-being, and Children’s Educational Success).

The Maison régionale de l’industrie and R3USSIR are continuing the rollout of the project ''Lire, compter, cliquer : les clés de l’implantation d’un système en entreprise''
🔍 Current phase: diagnostic stage
We are looking to conduct approximately one-hour interviews with manufacturing companies and system integrators that have implemented—or are in the process of implementing—a digital or technological system. The goal is to develop strategies and training that are better aligned with real-world workplace needs.
🤝 We need your support
We are seeking your collaboration to help us recruit companies within your network. Your referrals are essential to reach relevant organizations and ensure the success of this initiative.
This project is made possible with financial support from the Gouvernement du Québec. |

Toward Positive Parenting: First “Agir GRAND” Meeting in Sherbrooke |

Yesterday, around thirty partners from Sherbrooke gathered as part of the "Agir GRAND" initiative, a continuation of the Thinking Big with Parents project. Managers and professionals from the education, municipal, community, early childhood, health, and social services sectors, among others, began discussions on the strengths, challenges, and levers within the territory to better support parenting.
Led jointly by R3USSIR and the Collectif estrien 0-5 ans, this initiative will roll out in other MRCs across Estrie over the coming months and will culminate in a regional meeting in the fall. We will keep you informed of upcoming developments!

The Institut de la statistique du Québec presents an analysis of the factors associated with obtaining a first college credential by age 19 (in French only).
Beyond the academic pathway, certain life context factors make a real difference: food security, time spent with one’s mother, and a positive perception of one’s health. These insights shed important light on how to better support young people’s educational success.
