Our Story<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

ENSEMBLE pour le respect de la diversit\u00e9 started with the name La Fondation de la tol\u00e9rance, a name it held for 17 years, and the aim to raise awareness about anti-Semitism. Born during the United Nations Year for Tolerance in 1995, the organization was incorporated in 1996 as a non-partisan NPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The founders’ goal of bringing communities together beyond their differences expressed itself over the years through various projects, including making plays and educational tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the organization has mainly made itself known through awareness workshops called the Caravans of Tolerance, which have earned it its reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its beginnings in 1995, the organization has evolved to become an enlightened leader in diversity education from one end of the province to the other. Strong from the arrival of new members, the board of directors decided that the time had come to aim higher than tolerance to now also talk about acceptance and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, the organization decided to get a new name and image; it was then that ENSEMBLE pour le respect de la diversit\u00e9 was born. These words, which translate to \u201cTogether for the respect of diversity\u201d and speak for themselves, better express our mandate, it seems to us. Today, we have the chance to raise public awareness about diversity in the broad sense of the term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The existence and development of ENSEMBLE\u2019s activities have been possible thanks to the involvement of people from diverse backgrounds who have our ideal of respect and equality at heart.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n

Our Mission<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the philosophy of human rights, our organization defends the universal and inalienable values \u200b\u200bof freedom, equality and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our mission is to act hand in hand with youth to promote respect for differences and engage in dialogue to build an environment free of discrimination and intimidation. Each year, we reach nearly 30,000 people in French and English primary and secondary schools and colleges from public and private sectors throughout Quebec and Canada. We also offer workshops for school staff and parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our work to educate and raise awareness helps people realize their responsibility in the face of all kinds of discrimination in their environment (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bullying, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n
