Élaboration du projet / Description:

Le but de la recherche est de faire respecter le processus d'évaluation par les jurys de pairs auprès du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (ci-après nommé le CALQ). Au moyen d'une méthode de sondage strictement confidentiel, afin de respecter la confidentialité exigée des jurys de pairs, le chercheur communiquera avec quelques membres des jurys des arts visuels, des arts médiatiques et des arts multidisciplinaires, tant au niveau provincial que régional, des 4 dernières années, qui auront été identifiés en collaboration avec le RCAAQ parmi celles et ceux qui nous paraissent disposés à répondre à ce sondage. Il s'agit de jurys qui portent sur l'attribution de bourses et de subventions.

Description du projet:

Le projet consiste à faire la révision de contenu de l'atelier,  des documents de soutien (version en français et en anglais), et du PowerPoint de l'atelier Solutions aux dettes/Dealing with debts afin d'alléger celui-ci et d'améliorer la compréhension pour des personnes qui ont des niveaux de scolarité et des situations sociales différends.

Contenu de l'atelier : présentation des sept solutions possibles en cas d'endettement problématique; droits et recours des consommateurs/trices quant au harcèlement des créanciers; droits et recours des créanciers; démystifier le dossier de crédit.

Le contenu sera utilisé lors des prestations de nos ateliers (11 ateliers en français et 8 ateliers en anglais, par année). Ceux-ci seront offerts à la population du territoire du sud-ouest de Montréal. L'atelier sera suivi par une moyenne de 150 personnes par année.

 Il est possible que le contenu de cet atelier puisse être utilisé par d'autres associations de consommateurs et cela bien entendu avec notre consentement.

"Concordia University Television's Box Populous is a virtual soapbox, where students can record what's on their mind into an arcade-style console on the seventh floor of the university's Hall building. When they are done recording their piece, the video is screened for inappropriate content and is posted on CUTV's website."
