Rendezvous of Culture with the Social Economy

On the occasion of Social Economy Month 2021, the First Nations Social Economy Regional Table (FNSERT), in collaboration with the Pôle des entreprises d’économie sociale de la Capitale-Nationale (Pôle CN), is inviting you to the “Rendezvous of Culture with the Social Economy”, on November 30, 2021 from 8:45 to 10:30 AM.

The cultural sector is a genuine pillar of the social economy for the First Nations and for all communities in Quebec. Yet, cultural organizations face many challenges in terms of funding, workforce retention and management of material resources. The Rendezvous of Culture with the Social Economy invites players in the social economy and culture to reflect on these issues as well as on avenues for collective solutions.

The conference will be broadcast live via the Zoom platform from the Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations in Wendake.

The event is free and open to everyone. It will be held in French with simultaneous translation in English.
