Episode 6: Who is Part of the Francophone Community? - Part 1: French as a Second Language Beyond Riel
-
- Society & Culture
Our previous episodes explored how a common language and lively culture brings together Francophone communities. Our next topic concerns who is part of these Francophone communities. In the next two episodes, we will explore this question by talking to two individuals who historically would not have been considered part of the Francophone community. We will begin this conversation with Derrek Bentley. This podcast is co-hosted by executive producers André Marchildon, a Franco-Manitoban, and Ian T. D. Thomson, a born and raised Winnipegger who grew up speaking only English. The music in Beyond Riel comes from Franco-Manitoban artist Rayannah. The series is sponsored by la Société de la francophonie manitobaine and supported by a Taking It Global grant.
