From mid-July 2026 to mid-February 2027, we’re conducting a digital collage storytelling project for English-speaking seniors in the Montreal area. The “History We Call Home Project” merges digital literacy, visual communication and personal history as participants learn how to use Google Slides to make a collage about their Montreal origin story.
