Abstract
This article presents an evaluation of an educational museum programme designed and delivered by the Centre of History in Montreal and the Museum of the Individual. This programme aimed to deal with issues of youngsters and adolescents' immigration. They came from different cultural communities and they enrolled in classes in order to learn French. The approach to evaluation was based on a partnership involving contributions from a university, museums and schools. This work took place in the framework of the Montreal laboratory of history and heritage and it aimed to valorize the exchange of experiences and knowledge by social actors between the university and their cultural partners. The evaluation focused specifically on the relationship between culture and heritage on the one hand, and the ways the students of the participating secondary schools received and held the programme. The results are presented within the framework of this article.
