Ressources, dynamiques et gouvernance culturelle des quartiers de Parc-Extension et Villeray : leurs effets sur le territoire, leurs réactions à la crise sanitaire

Depuis le début des années 2000, les acteurs montréalais ont identifié la culture comme un outil important du développement de la ville. De cette ambition, sont nées différentes stratégies misant sur l’attractivité internationale de la métropole montréalaise, ou sur le développement de l’économie culturelle. Une troisième option, incarnée dans la politique des quartiers culturels portée par les arrondissements, considère la culture comme un élément structurant des milieux de vie, porteuse d’identité collective et vecteur d’inclusion socioéconomique. Dans un contexte, marqué, en outre, par la crise sanitaire actuelle dont il conviendra de saisir les effets sur le milieu culturel, notre recherche vise à mieux saisir la vitalité culturelle des quartiers de Villeray et de Parc-Extension afin de permettre aux intervenants de ces quartiers de mieux cibler leurs actions sur le terrain et d’orienter leurs objectifs et leur mission.

Resettlement Experience in Quebec: Arts-Based Approaches to Work with Adolescent Refugee Girls

Resettlement in Canada is beneficial to adolescent refugee girls only if they have access to appropriate services like language classes, education, and work (Ratkovic et al., 2017)
Also, with enough support during resettlement, adolescent girls can gain skills that contribute to Canada’s economy in the long run (Picot et al., 2019). Therefore, effective resettlement can be
beneficial for both refugees and their host countries (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 2019).
However, few studies have focused on adolescent refugee girls’ experience after resettlement. This is particularly important
at the present time when hundreds of asylum seekers are working on front line of Canada’s battle with COVID-19, risking
their lives, and at the same time uncertain of how their future looks in Canada (Rowe, 2020). Even for those admitted in
Canada, it is not clear how they are experiencing resettlement during this pandemic. By placing adolescent girls at the center
of exploration and analysis, this study identifies the challenges faced by this population. The findings will be used by Maison
d’haiti to create suitable programs that improve the resettlement experiences of adolescent refugee girls.

Marketing Intern (MBSI) (May 2021) – Physician Focus

As our MRI based screening services requires that our customers come to our facilities to be scanned, our expansion into several US markets has been slowed. We feel that we need to explore repositioning of our offering and our approaches to reach what we expect to be a very strong market for us, particularly the San Francisco/Bay Area, Florida and LA as we continue to expand into imaging partnerships. An intern will bring fresh eyes to help us better communicate our message and bring this life changing service to an even greater number of people as we continue to grow. There are 3 primary areas of focus that we feel an intern can both help us grow and provide an exciting opportunity for the intern’s growth and development. These may include content marketing & strategy, acquisition marketing & strategy, and marketing conversion, analytics & strategy.

Innovative Educational and Marketing Tools for Prospective IP Rights Owners

Bereskin & Parr (“B&P”) would like to hire Bonnie Hassanzadeh, a second year Juris Doctor Candidate at Osgoode Hall Law School and prospective intern, to distill complex intellectual property (“IP”) law concepts via virtual educational and marketing materials for prospective clients. B&P markets their services largely to startups, investors, entrepreneurs, and technology managers who often lack an IP law background and need guidance for protecting their innovations and designs.

The COVID-19 pandemic hindered B&P’s ability to connect with prospective clients through in-person events. Lawyers from B&P typically use these events to educate innovators about the best ways to protect their IP and market B&P’s relevant services. As these events are now inaccessible, B&P is looking for new ways to educate and retain both prospective and existing clients in a virtual world.

With funding from Mitacs, B&P can hire a student intern to research and translate various IP law concepts to visually appealing and comprehensive educational and marketing materials. The student will also research marketing strategies for tailoring these materials to varying clientele and determine the most effective media to convey them. These materials would save prospective clients time and money.

A Universal Design Framework of Employment Accessibility Standards for Supporting Visually Impaired Community by Social Robots

This project aims to employ a universal design framework to employ a social robot-aided training system to support the visually impaired community in attaining an inclusive job interview process. The universal design framework advocates that any given environment is accessible by persons with disabilities, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. The research will take an evidence-based approach by adopting qualitative data collection strategies for the visually impaired community, such as conducting interviews and focus group sessions. Data collection will include persons with different visual processing disabilities, successful and unsuccessful experiences in the job interview process, and hiring managers and human resource professionals. The goal is to establish guidelines for implementing inclusive employment and accessibility standards while providing practical tools to break barriers in the recruitment process for the visually impaired community.

Le but est d’améliorer les compétences des acteurs revendiquant la présence de plus de femmes dans les lieux de pouvoir et d’enrichir la littérature sur les stratégies d’intégration des femmes en politique. Ces activités permettront au stagiaire de bénéficier de l’expertise de l’organisme d’accueil en matière de transfert de connaissances. Le stagiaire apportera à l’organisme sa disponibilité, ses compétences pour travailler sur ses activités de recherche sur les violences faites aux femmes en Haïti.
