Women Key Actors of Food Resilience: A Reconfiguration of Gender Relations in Times of the COVID-19 Pandemic Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Centre for International Cooperation and Study (CECI) The Covid-19 pandemic and its response measures have intensified the vulnerability and shortcomings of food systems in West Africa, affecting all activities and processes of production, distribution, and consumption of food. To this end, rural women in Senegal and Burkina Faso, ensured the resilience of poor and vulnerable households, thus generating recognition of this reality by men. It is therefore essential to give women decision-making power at all levels in the spheres related to the four pillars of security eating. It would be desirable to support and accompany the positive reconfiguration of relationships of power between women and men, already in progress in the communities studied, to ensure that they have the means and skills (social, cultural, economic, political, and legal) to be able to fully play this role. Support for farmer organizations and networks of women's organizations is essential. 
Campaign "Social Protections, an Essential Human Right!" Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Labour Solidarity Centre Around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inequalities in the individual and collective protection measures that societies had access to face the crisis. Unsurprisingly, we found that not everyone was equal in the face of the pandemic, quite the contrary. Countries with higher rates of social coverage and labor formalization have seen their populations much better prepared and equipped to deal with the aftermath. In contrast, places, where a large number of workers worked in precarious situations, suffered from an increase in the unemployment rate and a much higher rate of contagion.It is therefore with the current pandemic context in mind that the CISO has decided to set up the annual campaign under the theme of social protection for all, to raise awareness among the Quebec public about the precariousness of work. in the South and the North and the importance of social protection floors to protect the most vulnerable workers. Through this campaign, we want to present social protections not as a privilege but as an essential human right for all.

SDG 4 Data Digest 2020: Using Household Survey Data to Monitor SDG 4 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) The 2020 edition of the SDG 4 Data Digest by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics focuses on household surveys as an important and underutilized tool to collect the data needed to track progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4 and to ensure that no one is left behind. The Digest describes existing survey programmes and offers advice on the design and implementation of new surveys. The Digest identifies a number of advantages to using household surveys and describes the categories of indicators best suited for monitoring with survey data. Data from household surveys complement administrative data collected in schools and can be disaggregated to a greater extent than administrative data to facilitate the monitoring of exclusion in education. The definitions and calculation methods of selected indicators are laid out and the combination of household survey data with data from other sources is explained. This issue of the Digest is aimed at government officials, national planners, donors and others who make decisions about the implementation of nationally representative household surveys. It describes the requirements for conducting a household survey and the steps that must be followed from questionnaire design to data collection and analysis, and it gives advice on presentation of the findings. A section on COVID-19 summarizes the impact of the current pandemic on data collection. Additional resources, with suggested survey questions for the collection of education data through household surveys, are also included.

Is History Teaching in Quebec Instrumentalized by Citizenship Education? (Bulletin d'histoire politique; vol. 21, no. 3) Year of publication: 2013 Author: Félix Bouvier | Philippe Chamberland | Marie-Line Belleville Corporate author: Association québécoise d'histoire politique | VLB Éditeur In 2001, the Quebec Ministry of Education made the decision to formally join, for the first time, the teaching of history and education to citizenship. Logical according to many, since implicit" since the very beginning. beginnings of public schools, in Quebec as in most Western countries”, the association had to respond to the Western context encountered by democratic societies and characterized by the increase in population movements and the globalization of the economy. In secondary school since 2005, the associated teaching of the two subjects aims to promote a harmonious living together to preserve social cohesion. However, a problem remains. history with regard to civic education has long been recognized, the attribution of responsibility for political socialization and the shaping of consciousness citizen of students to history teachers risk instrumentalizing this subject? In other words, is it not dangerous to assert, as the Assistant Deputy Minister for Preschool, Elementary and Secondary Education Pierre Bergevin does, “that now history must above all serve as education for citizenship”? This association poses the question that François Audigier evokes, namely, should we proceed from history and question the latter's contribution to citizen consciousness, or proceed from the aspects of citizen consciousness that one wishes to construct and then determine the historical objects which should be studied? The experience of comparable nations on a planetary scale makes us doubt the relevance of the association of the two disciplines. In fact, some Western democracies are worried about the quality of the civic education of their young people since the waves of industrialization and the great wars of the XIXth and XXth centuries which changed manners forever: intensification of migrations, upheavals social roles, loss of influence of religions, etc. Thus, although Great Britain has for some time taken the path taken by Quebec, France clearly dissociates the teaching of history from that of civic education. In order to understand all the ins and outs of the issue, we first provide a portrait of the context at the origin of the association of history and education for citizenship. Then, we will discuss the arguments in favor of combining the two subjects, especially in Great Britain, France and Australia. Finally, our gaze will focus on the case of Quebec and the type of privileged citizenship, in order to determine whether the teaching of history is not instrumentalised for the benefit of a citizenship education valuing the concealment of conflicts and divergences and if, to use the writings of Robert Martineau, the Ministry of Education has sacrificed the history class on the altar of citizenship education. 
Religious Traditions and Models of Citizenship Education: The Legacy of a Normative Universe (Politique et Sociétés; vol. 34, no. 2) Year of publication: 2015 Author: Félix Mathieu | Guy Laforest Corporate author: Société québécoise de science politique This article analyzes the significant links between the citizenship education curricula of France, England and Quebec, as well as their respective religious traditions, which all stem from the central and common core of belonging that is christianity. More precisely, starting from the postulate according to which the religious fact, as a socio-cultural heritage, permeates in a deep and lasting way contemporary societies, the authors show that the values and the ideals resulting from the various religious paths are transposed more or less singularly through the normative and pedagogical universe of French, English and Quebec citizenship education programs. 
Analysis (Didactic) of a Historical Video Game: Democracy and Citizenship Education in Civilization VI (Revue de recherches en littératie médiatique multimodale; no. 9) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Vincent Boutonnet Corporate author: Groupe de recherche en littératie médiatique multimodale Civilization VI, published in 2016, is a turn-based strategy game allowing the player to go through historical eras by leading a civilisation toward cultural, economic, military or technological sophistication. This new entry introduces a civic tree presenting new gameplay with government systems and civics policies. This research is descriptive and aims at a formal analysis of the gameplay. We examine the various components and the principles of design as well as the conceptual and civics limits of such a game. We believe this game is an opportunity to analyse and talk about these limits with pupils to foster critical thinking about democracy and citizenship. 
Understanding Policy Instrument Choice Concerning Citizenship in Education and Youth Policies: A Typology of Public Tools (Citoyenneté des enfants et des adolescents; no. 80) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Valérie Becquet Corporate author: Lien social et Politiques This article proposes a typology of public action instruments mobilized in the education and youth sectors. Three main ones currently coexist: legislative and regulatory, conventional and incentive, informative and communicational. They favor dimensions of citizenship (legal, political and civil) and are aimed at both pupils and young people. This typology is a tool for grasping the meaning of public action, highlighting the preferences of decision-makers for certain types of devices2 and recalling that heterogeneous devices coexist and structure juvenile experiences. In this regard, the taking into account of these devices in the analysis of careers and youth engagement practices is very uneven in the surveys, even though they constitute markers in the same way as other experiences contributing to political socialization, such as participation in protest actions. Given the development of public systems, this marginalization is not without effects on the understanding of the role of the latter in the construction of juvenile practices. After a general presentation of the typology, the main characteristics of the three identified instruments are analyzed.
