Action cadienne is a non-Profit organization in Louisiana whose goal is to promote Cajun language, history and culture. The two sites have been twinned since 1996, and saw the IPAM program as a way to work more closely together on their visitor programs. Adam will be working at Grand-Pr throughout the month of July. Donna Doucet, director of programming and promotions at Grand-Pr , worked at the Acadian Memorial in Louisiana during the month of March. Cajun History and Culture in Louisiana will be held at 7PM on Tuesday, July 25 in French and on Wednesday, July 26 in English.
Admission is free.
