HE CAFÉ
CAFÉ--BISTRO COFFEE SHOP
For the Eurostage project coordinated by UQAT, eight of us (students in 2nd-year preschool education and primary teaching) left Canada last May to do a practicum in France, in the city of Troyes.
This trip allowed us to make delightful discoveries on cultural and professional levels, and our presence in French schools enabled us to meet delightful people.
The experience was a very enriching one: we came back to Quebec with our heads full of new ideas
and good memories.
Left to right: Renelle Éthier, Andréanne Dubois-Langlois, Sophie Boulanger-Veillet, Audrey-Ann Rocheleau, Audrey Larouche, Lise-Ann Savard, Joany Robichaud, Valérie Riopel.
The dynamic Café Bistro team will be on campus as of August 30, starting at 7:30 AM to serve you coffee and meals.
Have a good session everyone!
RED COFFEE MUGS
By buying a red UQAT mug from the Café-Bistro for $6.50, you will save 25 cents each time you use it to buy a cup of coffee!
It's an ecological and economical choice! Careful! These mugs cannot go in the microwave!
