TEC Launches Its Brand-New Environmental Justice Program

A journey to learn, take action, and bring TEC’s vision for transition to life
The Program is designed for anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding of environmental justice issues and collectively explore possible solutions. Through a variety of formats (collective learning sessions, participatory workshops, field visits, cultural discussions, and editorial content), the activities will provide concrete opportunities to engage with complex issues such as homelessness, migrant justice, Indigenous realities, and territorial inequities—all with the goal of developing, together, a sense of collective agency to better understand these issues and take action. Far from being a series of prescriptive training sessions, the program’s gatherings are dynamic spaces for learning, dialogue, and experimentation, rooted in real-world realities.

4 themed seasons in 2026
Winter 2026 – Homelessness and Transition in Montreal: Alternative Ways of Living;
Spring 2026 – Migrant Justice and International Solidarity;
Summer 2026 – Decolonization and Indigenous Realities;
Fall 2026 – To be determined

A flexible learning path, with learning materials to explore and share
Far from being a linear journey, the Environmental Justice Journey offers a path where everyone is invited to participate according to their interests, availability, and needs. For those who are unable to attend all the events, a Praxis booklet published each season will document the lessons learned, stories, testimonials, references, and courses of action from the journey, making its content accessible to everyone.

The first event of the season will take place on February 23 at the Écomusée du fier monde
Join us for this first collective learning session on homelessness and the socio-ecological transition. From 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the morning session will bring together perspectives from research, fieldwork, and social history to better understand the links between climate crises, social coexistence, and on-the-ground realities in Montreal. Featuring contributions from Mélissa Roy (UQAM), Judikaëlle Marterer (Table de concertation du faubourg Saint-Laurent), and the Écomusée du fier monde, the session will consist of short presentations followed by a discussion workshop and a plenary exchange. Please also notethat the session will take place in the heart of the exhibition, which participants will first explore briefly as a group and then on their own, following their own leads.
