Youth Leadership
Developing the leadership of Francophone youth in Hamilton is one of the pillars of the work carried out by the CFH!


September 2023 to March 2024
Génération Franco-Influenceurs
Funded by the Francophone Community Grants Program (FCGP), Génération Franco-Influenceurs (GFI) is the latest leadership program launched by CFH. It’s a digital content creation training project designed with and for high school students aged 12 to 17 in the Hamilton and Niagara region.
The aim is to enable selected young francophone leaders to create secure accounts on the most popular social networks of their generation, and to feed them with video content. This content will focus on the various resources available in French for young people, and will also highlight organizations, services, talents and personalities that are particularly noteworthy in our community, through video capsules prepared and produced by them.
“Génération Franco-Influenceurs” aims above all to engage young Francophones, increase the amount of French-language content on social media, and reduce the social barriers to integration for young Francophones.
With a phase of theoretical and practical workshops to increase their knowledge in the following areas:
- Oral expression (public speaking, speech writing, camera presence)
- Digital content creation (editing methods and techniques)
- Marketing (promotion and monetization of content created)
- Journalism (journalistic ethics, content selection and relevance)
- Content moderation (combating cyberbullying, the golden rules of moderation)
