It does not pretend to cover the news so exhaustice international social or contibuer to implement them in the context hexagonal. It consists of subjective choices deliberately made by official representatives of the department as part of their research and their meetings. These raise the membership like this, caution or rejection, their vocation is to help lead the debate on the future of social models.

  • The curiosity of January: Canada

An interesting event that has been debated in Canada.

Opening a school reserved for "African Canadian" in Toronto in 2009 for 4-10 year olds. The goal is to try to cope with the high level of academic failure of the black population of Toronto. This is mainly to create a sense of belonging to the school children. The program will be particularly focused on African culture and history, the experience of these people "afrocanadiennes". Opponents of the project, in response to this desire for self-determination, speak of a return to segregation. We note that this is not the first experiment of its kind in Canada.
