Xavier has been invested in the field of education for over a decade, particularly with Cree and Inuit communities. In addition, his experience in international cooperation has enabled him to understand intercultural dynamics and educational issues in diverse contexts. Passionate about learning, he blends theory and practice, incorporating approaches from ludopedagogy and experiential pedagogy into his teaching. For him, the learning experience must be engaging, stimulating and, above all, enjoyable to be meaningful.  
Guided by the motto Sapere aude, which means "dare to know," Xavier sees knowledge as an essential lever for emancipation. This ideal motivates his pedagogical engagement and guides his vision of education: learning centered on the individual, where curiosity makes each person an actor in their intellectual development.  
His involvement with CP2 is in line with this desire to reflect on and continuously improve teaching practices. Convinced that the exchange of ideas is essential for the development of college pedagogy, he wishes to contribute to strengthening the dialogue between research and practice, while promoting creative and inclusive approaches.
