discover your roots 

The Italian Foundation is thrilled to offer young Italian-Canadians a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rediscover their roots and immerse themselves in the rich culture of their ancestral homeland. Through the Discover Your Roots initiative, young adults from Montreal’s Italian-Canadian community will have the chance to travel to Italy (certain conditions apply), not just as tourists—but as locals.

​

This unforgettable journey is designed to deepen cultural understanding, spark personal discovery, and strengthen ties to your Italian heritage. Participants will return inspired, enriched, and ready to share their stories, traditions, and newfound perspectives with our community.
