« If we promote critical thinking to address digital citizenship issues, we win. If we agree to give more space to discourse on polarizing topics, we win. If we make room for socio-emotional skills, we win.

And if we collectively develop the ability to think of innovative solutions, creative solutions, and new challenges, we win.

CITNUM.CA is an initiative that deserves attention and seems very ambitious, but when we look at ourselves through you, we realize we’re not alone in having big ideas. Thank you! »
