15 projects by Vaudreuil-Soulanges students have been selected locally for the 26th edition of the Défi OSEntreprendre.

The school component of the Défi OSEntreprendre supports the development of the entrepreneurial spirit by spotlighting pupils and students carrying out entrepreneurial projects.

Whether at pre-school by creating a product from recycled materials, or at university by launching an online platform, young people are at the heart of the action and decisions, in complicity with school stakeholders.

Over the past few weeks, a jury has analyzed the various projects submitted, and selected some fifteen.
