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 with participants the benefit of his expertise and decades-long social commitment.

Activity accessible to all audiences: individuals, schools, businesses, organizations

To become aware of the true power that each individual possesses to change things.

To raise awareness of the various ways in which citizen power can be exercised individually and collectively.

To stimulate the desire for social engagement by measuring the unsuspected impact that concerted gestures and actions can have.

This workshop is part of a social change education pathway, which offers activities (e.g., conferences and seminars) allowing for a deeper exploration of certain themes.
