3/ #EnvironmentalEducation is a key demand from children.
Quebec schools are eager to make a difference, although they are unsure of the way to go.
How do we reconcile schools' mandate, child's participation rights & environmental justice?
Stay tuned for more on my research!
2/ Children demand their #participation & #education rights be actualized: be listened to, taken seriously and play a role in #environmentalaction; have spaces to share their solutions & have clear info/actions from govs, corp. and all adults.
#ChildRightsEnvironment #GC26
1/ Being part of the Canada/Qc initiative, facilitating children discussions on #ChildRights, #environment & #climatechange was an energizing, yet humbling process. Their demands to adults are quite clear and connect directly to their rights as children.
The UN invited children and young people from around the 🌍 to share their views on their environmental rights.
7,416 children from 103 countries answered their call.
We put together the key findings 👉 childrightsenvironment.org/r…

⚖️ The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed our application for leave to appeal. The Court leaves many questions unanswered, including whether or not the Canadian gov. is violating our fundamental #rights: enjeu.qc.ca/justice-judgment… #youthvscanada #climatejustice #polcan #climate

⚖️ La Cour suprême du Canada a rejeté notre demande d’autorisation d’appel. La Cour laisse ainsi d’importantes questions sans réponse, notamment à savoir si le #Canada viole ou non les #droits des jeunes: enjeu.qc.ca/justice-decision… #justiceclimatique #climatejustice #polcan #climat

To all activists,
Happiness, laughter and fun is still a NEED, even when humanities future is *quite literally* on our shoulders. You should not feel guilt about enjoying life too!
You deserve to smile <3

I usually think of #ChildrensParticipation at the institutional level (city, school, hospital), but rarely in the household. Being a #newmom reminds me of the impact I'll have on a person from its earliest time. Is there such a thing as a mom ethics for #ChildrensRights? (2/2)
My mom observed that I addressed my newborn as a human being, asking consent and informing her of things I was doing. She said that it wasn't always the case as people often think newborns don't have agency since e.g. they can't talk (1/2).

As my #publicscholar tenure comes to an end, I reflect on the benefits of having a professional/academic group. It really made a difference for me + I offer ways to connect at @Concordia and beyond!

I had a thoughtful discussion with both @LazureLouis and @FelicityTCHamer on their experience being in the 2021-2022 #publicscholar cohort. #phdchat Any dis/similar experiences with other academic groups?
