Practical workshop: Information & disinformation

The advent of the internet, social media, and 24-hour news channels has completely reshaped the information landscape. Never has the world suffered from such an insatiable appetite. In this jungle, where sound, dubious, or even dangerous information coexist, it has now become difficult to find one’s way. In this era of social and environmental awareness, companies, organizations, and individuals have a weapon of mass destruction: disinformation-propaganda. This workshop takes stock of the pernicious technique of “greenwashing” (eco-whitewashing). Concrete examples of this strategy show that organizations never hesitate to “misinform” by falsely associating a product with a social or environmental vision. As a recognized agent of social change, Canadian facilitator Jean Provencher will share with participants the benefit of his expertise and decades-long social commitment.

Practical Workshop: Citizen Power

Faced with the scale of major environmental, social, and economic challenges, we have three choices. To listen without feeling concerned. To react by crying out against injustice but without taking concrete action. To be indignant and set out to change things. Which of these options applies to you? There are hundreds of millions of people, across every continent, who have understood the scope of their power. Because yes, our power is significant. These committed individuals are literally transforming our society. Citizen victories, seemingly impossible, are multiplying. Governments and businesses are thus being led to act. This workshop aims to take action by guiding participants through the practical exercise of citizen power. It raises awareness of the power each individual holds as an economic and civic actor. As a recognized agent of social change, Canadian facilitator Jean Provencher will share his expertise and decades of social commitment with participants.

Practical workshop: Technology addiction (2 hours)

Technology has transformed our society and propelled it to unforeseen heights. Consider medicine, the Internet, computers, and mobile phones. It demonstrates human ingenuity. It has enabled even the most remote populations to connect with the rest of the world. It now occupies a central place. However, thousands of experts around the world are now warning us about this very real threat: security, physical and psychological health, personal identity, overconsumption, environmental catastrophe, etc. Technology has become much more than a simple tool at the service of humanity. This workshop offers us a useful and desirable reflection on the place technology occupies in our society. It leads us to assess its impact on our daily lives and to moderate its use. As a recognized agent of social change, Canadian facilitator Jean Provencher will share with participants his expertise and decades-long social commitment.

Practical workshop: Responsible consumption (1 day)

The evidence is unequivocal. Whatever the issue that concerns us, there is a single root cause: our rampant consumption. The well-known “always more” and “never enough.” If every human being consumed like a Canadian, a Luxembourger, or an American, we would need 5 planets to meet their needs. But how, precisely, does one define a need? Depending on whether one lives in a wealthy, developed country or in a developing country, that definition differs. How can we become aware of this rampant overconsumption? This workshop offers an important, non-guilt-inducing reflection on our role as economic actors or as citizens. It helps us take stock of the gestures, behaviours, and actions that can easily become part of our daily lives. As a recognised agent of social change, the Canadian facilitator Jean Provencher will share with participants the benefit of his expertise and decades-long social commitment.
