Intimidation and cyberintimidation
Relations NETtes (French)
Le programme Relations NETtes vise à sensibiliser les jeunes de 14 à 17 ans sur les thématiques du cyberharcèlement dans le contexte des relations amoureuses et amicales. Plus particulièrement, l’atelier souhaite développer l’esprit critique des jeunes afin de les amener à identifier des pistes de solutions pour contrer le cyberharcèlement. Un projet utilisant les technologies a été réalisé avec deux groupes de 7 à 8 jeunes dans deux écoles montréalaises. Ce projet technologique permet de sensibiliser les jeunes de leur entourage et de leur école au cyberharcèlement, aux manifestations et aux impacts de ce phénomène. À l’issue du projet en 2016, un guide d’animation thématique a été produit et distribué auprès des intervenant·e·s qui œuvrent avec les jeunes.

Healthy relationships and sexual consent
Equals Cinema Forum – Facilitation Guide
2014 / Soutien financier du Secrétariat à la condition féminine, en collaboration avec Forum jeunesse de l’île de Montréal et Mise au Jeu. This facilitation tool approaches the issue of gender equality in an entertaining way with the help of a short film featuring conflict situations about gender equality. The participants will be engaged to identify such situations in a dynamic manner. To order, please contact commande.leadership@ydesfemmesmtl.org 2016 / Soutien financier du Secrétariat à la condition féminine Sexual consent is a topic with many nuances and subtleties and deserves to be demystified in order to promote healthy relationships among youth. Through the use of 360° glasses, the individual is teleported into an alternate world, where they enter the shoes of a young girl who is experiencing a situation where sexual consent is brought into question. Film-maker Emanuel St. Pierre, recipient of the 2013 prize L’égalité à l’œuvre, had the idea to develop the project using virtual reality technology, permitting users to realistically live and feel the experience, thus provoking a deeper understanding of the issue. Actors Sandrine Poirier-Allard and Olivier Koomsatira play the main characters, two youth that meet to work on a group project for school, in a situation with an unexpected turn of events. The messages to convey are that one has to always make sure that both partners want the same things, one does not need a reason to say no, and can do so at any point in time. Until March 2017, the project will tour schools and several public events and also offer group discussions that permit youth to exchange views on consent. 2013 / Soutien financier de Condition féminine Canada The Toolkit supports professionals to put in place reflective and dynamic workshops for youth during their transition to high school.
