“Pour quel public ?
Toute personne qui souhaite mener une démarche de plaidoyer ou d’influence pour agir sur les déterminants sociaux de la santé, peu importe sa profession ou son milieu de travail : ministère, organisation non gouvernementale, réseau de la santé, association, ordre professionnel, organisme communautaire, etc.
Description :
Avez-vous déjà eu envie de changer les structures en place, mais de vous freiner aussitôt : « Je suis seul, personne ne m’écoutera », « Le plaidoyer nécessite un gros budget », ou encore « Le plaidoyer est un domaine spécialisé » ?
Et si vous aviez plus de pouvoir que vous ne le pensez ?
Le plaidoyer est une compétence clé en promotion de la santé et une stratégie puissante pour agir sur l’équité en santé.
Considérant l’intérêt grandissant pour cette pratique sur la scène francophone internationale, ce webinaire sera l’occasion de présenter un outil d’aide à la pratique développé par le RÉFIPS, Plaidoyer pour la santé, de reconsidérer certains mythes au sujet du plaidoyer et d’inspirer les participants et participantes à passer à l’action.
Présentation de :
- Sarah Chaput, coordonnatrice du Réseau francophone international pour la promotion de la santé (RÉFIPS), région des Amériques, et voix de la relève francophone en promotion de la santé”

Join CERC Migration for an international workshop convened by Anna Triandafyllidou, Younes Ahouga and Richa Shivakoti (all CERC Migration) and Binod Khadria (Jawaharlal Nehru University and visiting CERC Scholar of Excellence).
Practitioners extolled the adoption of the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) and the Global Compact for Refugees (GCR) in December 2018 as a critical milestone in migration and asylum governance. Yet to be truly considered a milestone, the two Compacts must overcome shortcomings: (1) the many competing priorities due to the divergent interests of the endorsing states, and (2) the lack of an enforcement mechanism that could hold states accountable.
This workshop aims to take stock of the manner in which the implementation of the GCM and the CGR addressed these shortcomings. Moreover, the workshop seeks to discuss the future of the two Compacts in the post-pandemic world. While the COVID-19 global pandemic as well as the Afghanistan and Ukraine crises stressed the need for global cooperation on migration, it also resulted in a range of challenges that could limit the relevance of the Global Compacts. As the states favoured imposing unilateral restraints on mobility through the pandemic, some sectors relying on circular temporary labour migration saw large, possibly unprecedented, restrictions in mobility and massive layoffs of migrant workers. The hypermobility that was foreseen earlier came to a complete standstill during the pandemic, resulting in crisis returns that therefore contradicted the GCM’s aim to facilitate safe, orderly and regular migration. On the other hand, the refugee emergencies proliferating around the world including for instance Venezuela or Central America, make the GCR all the more relevant and needed. The question of course arises are the two Global Compacts fit for purpose.
This workshop aims to address the following questions:
- How has the implementation of the GCM and GCR progressed since their adoption? What are the lessons learned? Have states been held accountable for not meeting their voluntary commitments?
- Have the regional reviews succeeded in building trust between the stakeholders and avoiding politicization of the implementation of the two Compacts?
- Particularly as regards to the GCM did the capacity building mechanism set up by the UN Network on Migration improve the implementation? Has the UN Network on Migration been able to speak in one voice?
- How will the global governance of migration and asylum change in the post-pandemic world? Are the two Compacts still fit for the purpose?
- Given the prominent role the non-state actors played during crisis return and reintegration, should their role evolve to permit greater contribution to deliberations on the global governance of migration and asylum?

Au Canada, la pandémie de la Covid-19 a donné lieu à des innovations transformatives qui nous ont fait réaliser des bonds importants en télémédecine. En ce sens, les innovations technologiques qui permettent un virage des services de santé traditionnels en personne vers un modèle à distance se fait ressentir dans tous les territoires et toutes les provinces du pays. Elles représentent une solution tangible parmi la communauté du secteur de la santé qui doit transformer rapidement, et sans précédent, la façon dont les services de santé sont dispensés tout en tenant compte des mesures sanitaires imposées. Mais au-delà des mérites qu’on lui accorde en lien avec la gestion de la pandémie, la télémédecine représente également un terrain fertile pour augmenter la disponibilité et l’accessibilité des services de santé en français pour les CFASM.
Plus spécifiquement, la télémédecine représenterait un levier permettant:
- de répondre aux défis des disparités territoriales et d’isolement;
- de réduire les listes d’attentes et d’améliorer l’accessibilité aux soins de santé en français; et
- de pallier à la pénurie de professionnel.le.s parlant la langue de la minorité et capables d’o‑rir des services en français aux CFASM.

Join CERC Migration for a lunchtime seminar with Tariq Modood. Born in Karachi, Pakistan, to refugee parents, Tariq migrated to the UK with his family at the age of eight. He was the first to go to university from his working-class secondary school, survived years in academic exile, and broke through barriers to become known for his innovative critique of sociological theory.
Today, Tariq is an acclaimed expert in racism and exclusion, the founding director of the Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship, Bristol University, and is widely published and regularly sought after for consultancies, fellowships and speaking engagements. He has been recognized as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, awarded an MBE, made a member of the Academy of Social Sciences (UK) and elected a Fellow of the British Academy.
Tariq will share some of his founding influences, the key moments of serendipity or perseverance that changed his trajectory, and tell us why he is optimistic for a future of diversity and inclusion.

Gender-based violence against 2SLGBTQ+ people is pervasive but stigmatized; it’s hyper-visible and invisibilized, known and neglected. We know violence against women is a shadow pandemic to COVID-19, but where does violence against queer and trans women and 2SLGBTQ+ people fit within this shadow pandemic? How are GBV services currently addressing GBV against 2SLGBTQ+ people and what can we do better?
Join us for a critical panel discussion about how the GBV sector can build better practices, trust, and coalitions with 2SLGBTQ+ communities and organizations. The panel will launch the Canadian Women’s Foundation’s Queering GBV Prevention and Intervention Report and Toolkit.

Aperçu | Overview
Après plusieurs décennies de politiques prônant l'austérité urbaine et une croissance des inégalités socio-économiques dans les villes canadiennes, les familles nouvellement arrivées font face à des défis importants (p. ex., trouver un logement à prix abordable) et des conditions de précarité qui entravent leur établissement et intégration, avec des impacts significatifs sur leur bien-être et leur sentiment d'appartenance. L’objectif de cette communication sera de mettre en lumière les divers facteurs qui modulent les expériences de familles immigrantes installées dans trois quartiers « hyper-divers » dans la région d’Ottawa-Gatineau, dont les formes de soutien desquelles elles dépendent pour leur survie au quotidien.
