First extracurricular program in Quebec that combines art AND sport!
The LDT Foundation believes that the youth today, more than ever, need to move and to create! With the help of experts in childhood, education, art, and sports, we’ve developed The 6th period, the first extracurricular program in Quebec that combines art and sport for Elementary Cycle Three students. Free and turnkey, it promotes a healthy balance among art, sports, and studies and encourages educational success.
Original creative projects for discovering Quebec contemporary art
A variety of physical activities based on the pleasure of moving
An hour of activities that are free and hosted by the LDT Foundation team every week for 12 weeks during the school year
For children in grades 5th and 6th
On the premises of the participating schools
By offering varied and complementary extracurricular activities, we invite children to explore different aspects of art and sports in the same program. A first in Quebec!
The 6th period is deployed over a 12-week period during the school year with the goal of providing sustained guidance to a single cohort of students, thus encouraging a significant change.
Because access to art and sports is not equal in the province’s elementary schools, we promote equity by offering our activities in the most vulnerable communities.
We favour an inclusive approach that takes the plural realities of young people into consideration. Our activities are accessible to all, as we impose no selection criteria beforehand and charge no participation fees.
Our educational offer is updated every year! Our pedagogical content is designed in collaboration with experts in cultural mediation, sports education, and pedagogy.

Inspiring our youth takes inspiring models! The animation and coordination team for The 6th period is formed following a careful selection process during which we find student athletes and cultural mediators from across the province. What they share is a desire to impart their passion for art and sports to the next generation.
Do you want to help Elementary Cycle Three students discover arts and sports? Here’s your chance! Your mission in the schools will consist of animating workshops that enable participants to explore new physical or art activities. The rules of the game are simple: transmit your passion in an environment that encourages pleasure, curiosity, and kindness. We offer training and turnkey pedagogical content for use by animators in the field.
