Up to six (6) mini-grants to candidates from the post-secondary sectors in Quebec exclusively will be awarded.
Grants will be awarded to projects that build or sustain ongoing groups (or individuals looking to build a group) producing activities and technological innovations that promote active learning. The outcome of the ideal project will see students improve their learning through participation in a learning activity or through the use of a learning tool.
Mini-Grants will be funded to a maximum of $2,000 each.
