Quebec: Quebec Days of International Solidarity
In collaboration with Carrefour Tiers-Monde
Context:
Since 1996, every autumn, Quebec Days of International Solidarity offer with the support of the Department of International Relations of Quebec a 10 days program of activities, meetings and exchanges to better understand the challenges facing our planet and encourage the commitment to a fairer and more equitable world by the presentation of projects of international solidarity associations that mobilize Quebec daily, and this, in all regions of Quebec.
The days of international solidarity in Quebec have four objectives:
- Promote openness to other realities and a better understanding of the challenges of globalization and its impact on the poor.
- Learn more about the work of cooperating agencies and international solidarity.
- Engaging the public to promote international solidarity through concrete actions.
- Building relationships of solidarity between large populations here and elsewhere in the world.
