Intercultural Perspectives, Rights and Recognition in Montreal (Anthropologie et Sociétés; Vol. 41, No. 3) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Francine Saillant | Joseph J. Lévy | Alfredo Ramirez-Villagra Corporate author: Département d’anthropologie de l’Université Laval Within the debates about the way to deal with cultural diversity, new perspectives emerge which are actually discussed by the political and sociocultural instances, such as the notions of interculturalism, intercultural, interculturality, recognition, and their links to human rights. These topics are part of the discussion in Quebec, whether on the political scene, on the urban management level and in the social sciences. This article presents the European and Quebec perspectives on these issues and analyses the discourses of community leaders in Montreal who are involved and interviewed within the InterReconnaissances project. Data show that theses intercultural perspectives are not formally defined nor validated, although they often are associated with diverse practices and trainings that are designated to enhance the awareness of the actors involved in the intercultural encounter. The notions of right and recognition play a part on three levels : the struggle for the recognition of the migrant groups and of their cultures, and the recognition of the work done by community organizations. The awareness of the social diversity within these groups of migrants, who may be strongly stigmatized, bring new intercultural problematics, corroborating the importance of these notions on the field of communitarian action in Montreal.
Perspectives interculturelles, droits et reconnaissance à Montréal (Anthropologie et Sociétés; Vol. 41, No. 3) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Francine Saillant | Joseph J. Lévy | Alfredo Ramirez-Villagra Corporate author: Département d’anthropologie de l’Université Laval Dans les débats entourant la gestion de la diversité culturelle, de nouvelles perspectives sont actuellement discutées par les instances politiques et socioculturelles, comme celles de l’interculturalisme, de l’interculturel, de l’interculturalité, de la reconnaissance et de leurs arrimages aux droits humains. Ces thèmes se retrouvent dans la réflexion québécoise sur les plans politique, de la gestion urbaine et de la recherche en sciences sociales. Cet article, après avoir situé les perspectives respectives européenne et québécoise sur ces thèmes, analyse les discours de leaders communautaires montréalais impliqués dans le domaine de l’immigration et interviewés dans le cadre du projet InterReconnaissances. Les données montrent que les perspectives interculturelles ne font pas l’objet d’une formalisation ni d’une validation poussées, mais qu’elles se retrouvent surtout associées à des pratiques diverses et à des formations visant à la sensibilisation des intervenants impliqués dans la rencontre interculturelle. Les notions de droit et de reconnaissance se déclinent sur trois plans: la lutte pour la reconnaissance à la fois des groupes immigrants, de leurs cultures et du travail réalisé par les groupes associatifs dans ce domaine. La reconnaissance de la diversité sociale des groupes fortement stigmatisés suggère aussi l’ouverture à de nouvelles problématiques interculturelles jusque-là négligées, confirmant la place importante de ces notions dans le champ de l’action communautaire montréalaise.

Femmes et mouvement populaire d’habitation au Brésil: Vers une féminisation des luttes pour le droit au logement ? (Économie et Solidarités; Vol. 43, No. 1-2) Year of publication: 2013 Author: Charmain Levy | Marianne Carle-Marsan | Anne Latendresse Corporate author: Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche et d’information sur les entreprises collectives (CIRIEC)‑Canada Au Brésil, depuis la fin des années 1990, des actions collectives ont lieu autour du droit à la ville, en particulier pour le droit au logement. Alors qu’il existe des centaines, voire des milliers de bâtiments vacants dans le centre-ville de Rio de Janeiro et São Paulo, notamment, des organisations populaires occupent des bâtiments publics vides en vue d’obtenir le droit d’y résider et, éventuellement, de les transformer en logement public. Deux études ont mis en lumière la présence majoritaire de femmes qui, issues du milieu des sans-abri, des taudis et des favelas, jouent un rôle important dans les occupations. Dans cet article, nous proposons une analyse de la trajectoire de ces femmes afin de voir comment leur engagement à l’intérieur du mouvement urbain a changé leur vie sur les plans individuel et collectif. En d’autres termes, nous allons nous pencher sur le processus de construction du sujet politique opéré par des femmes de milieux précaires, actives au sein du mouvement pour le droit au logement. Par ailleurs, en nous penchant sur leur rôle au sein de ce mouvement, nous tenterons de voir dans quelle mesure ces femmes l’influencent et, en nous inspirant des travaux de Lefebvre et de Castells (1980), dans quelle mesure elles contribuent à la production de la ville.
주요 외국의 환경교육 비교 연구 Year of publication: 2018 Author: 김찬국 | 이선경 | 김남수 | 민경석 | 황세영 | 이은주 | 김태연 | 강진영 Corporate author: 대한민국 환경부 | 한국환경교육학회 이 연구는 유엔 지속가능발전교육 10년(UN DESD: 2005~2014)이 종료된 시점에서 국제기구와 주요 외국의 환경교육 분야에서 최근 나타나는 변화에 대한 종합적인 이해가 필요한 상황에서 시작되었다.특히 최근 환경교육 분야의 축적된 경험과 논의를 바탕으로 각국의 환경 및 교육상황에 부합하여 환경교육 법·제도 등을 정비하려는 노력이 국제 사회에서 이루어지고 있다는 점에 주목하였다. 이 조사 연구는 아시아, 유럽, 북미와 남미에 위치한 10개국(일본, 중국, 대만, 싱가포르, 호주, 영국, 독일, 미국, 캐나다, 브라질)을 대상으로 환경교육 현황을 조사하고 비교분석과 발전방향을 제시한다. 아울러 국제기구인 UNEP와 UNESCO의 환경교육 정책과 실행 방식도 함께 살펴보았다. Part I에는 주요 외국 10개국의 환경교육 상황과 UNESCO, UNEP의 환경교육 정책을 수록하였고, Part II에서는 각국의 환경교육을 비교 분석하고 있다.
SDG 4 - Policies for flexible learning pathways in higher education: Taking stock of good practices internationally (IIEP-UNESCO Working Papers) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Michaela Martin | Ana Godonoga Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) This paper draws on country examples across different UNESCO regions to illustrate policy-relevant as well as practical approaches to developing flexible learning pathways in higher education. It shows that policies can facilitate flexible learning pathways include legislative and regulatory frameworks, articulation and transfer policies, and lifelong learning policies. It also presents a number of supportive policy instruments that can serve to bridge policy and practice, such as national qualifications frameworks, quality assurance and accreditation, credit accumulation and transfer systems, and information and guidance services. Finally, apart from discussing system-wide approaches, this paper also gives examples of more decentralized, institution-led practices that contribute to flexible learning pathways. This paper concludes that well-designed policy frameworks and instruments and targeted measures can create an enabling environment for flexible learning pathways, but their effectiveness requires strong administrative capacity and coordination, as well as the involvement of all relevant stakeholders, including those who design, implement, and benefit from policies. It is also essential that policies, instruments, and practices are in alignment with one another and work towards a common objective. Therefore, a holistic approach, comprising an adequate and well-coordinated mix of policies, instruments, and targeted measures, is required, in order to translate flexible learning pathways from a national priority into an institutionalized practice that reaches its intended beneficiaries.
