We guide elementary-school students in the development of skills essential to their educational success by offering them programs that combine art and sports.
We want all children to have access to activities that they love and that help them thrive.
By offering free, turnkey programs that are integrated into the school curriculum, we hope to re-establish equal opportunities so that all students have the tools they need.
We see the educational path as a collaborative process. Our animation teams inspire children by sharing their knowledge, interests, and passions.
We weave lasting ties with our academic and philanthropic partners. Our aim is to have our involvement with children motivate them to be committed to their own success.
In 2017, their common desire to be involved with young people led Laurent and Florence-Agathe to co-create the LDT Foundation. With the support of an experienced team, they set up innovative programs combining art and sports in a network of elementary schools across Quebec. Their goal: to transmit their passion for art and sports to students by giving them access to activities that encourage them to succeed at school and thrive personally.
