Le Conseil atikamekw de Manawan, par le projet Matcekiw a comme mission le renforcement de trois domaines prioritaires aux yeux de la communauté soit 1) la prévention et la sensibilisation, 2) la promotion et 3) l’intervention. Matcekiw, « développement de l’enfance dans ses forces » désire favoriser l’épanouissement des jeunes et leurs pouvoir d’agir. Pour atteindre cet objectif il semble inévitable que Matcekiw doit mettre en place des stratégies complémentaires au plan de la réussite scolaire. Matcekiw offre ainsi divers ateliers aux enfants de 0 à 4 ans et leurs familles et aux jeunes de 12 à 20 ans permettant à ceux-ci d’acquérir des outils pour faire face à leurs difficultés et développer une attitude positive envers l’école et leur avenir. Matcekiw propose plus d’une dizaine d’activités et d’ateliers rejoignant environ 200 jeunes et parents abordant entre autres l’entrée à l’école, la sensibilisation à la persévérance scolaire et les activités parascolaires (CTREQ : 2013). Ces événements sont plus précisément orientés vers deux volets soit 1) la préparation aux examens et le passage au secondaire destinés aux jeunes de 5e et de 6e année du primaire et 2) des soirées d’informations sur le développement de l’enfant et l’importance de l’encadrement dès le plus jeune âge (PSJA :2017).
