What is Cuckoo Grafik?

Cuckoo Grafik provides simple blogging tips — from Blogger to microblogging (Twitter). This blog was used as a pedagogical tool for these Metropolis Blue Educational Programs.

Tweet Pals - Twitosphère is an innovative programme designed to provide young Canadians aged 13 to 16 with a unique linguistic and cultural experience through correspondence in their second official language, on the social network Twitter and on a blog.

NEIGHBOURS / VOISINS is an innovative project targeting young people aged 14 to 19 in an extracurricular context. It aims to improve young Canadians' linguistic abilities in the second official language through the development, creation and production of an electronic magazine.

Why the Cuckoo?

Renowned for its unique voice, the cuckoo bird is the harbinger of spring & the usual occupant of the cuckoo clock. Although it has developed somewhat of a bad reputation in ornithology & folklore, Cuckoo Grafik has adopted the bird as its moniker & mascot: for its voracious (art) appetite, its strong work ethic & its competitive drive.
