Conférence - débat : Le parcours de réfugié à citoyen au Québec : Mythes et Vérités ! Depuis plusieurs décennies, le Québec accueille des vagues successives de réfugiés arrivant des Caraïbes, de l'Afrique, du Moyen-Orient, de l'Amérique latine, de l'Europe. Ces réfugiés, tout comme les autres types de migrants, contribuent à l'avancement du Québec d'aujourd'hui et de demain en y amenant leur bagage culturel, et en apportant leur contribution au développement économique et à la croissance démographique. Soutenir les réfugiés du Burundi, de la Syrie, d'Irak, de la Colombie et bien d'autres devrait être considéré comme un investissement à long terme. Cependant, il existe encore beaucoup de préjugés et des mythes à déconstruire : Les immigrants sont-ils des voleurs d'emploi ? Les réfugiés sont-ils un fardeau pour l'État canadien ou québécois ? Le Conseil de la communauté noire de Gatineau (CCNG) vous invite à aborder ces questions et bien d'autres avec un panel d'experts en matière d'immigration et de réfugiés au Québec à Gatineau.
Intervenants confirmés : Bato Redzovic : Directeur d'Accueil-Parrainage Outaouais (APO); Assumpta Ndengeyingoma, Docteure en psychologie et professeure à l'Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO); Fernando Henriquez : ancien directeur de l'APO lors de la vague des réfugiés vietnamiens en 1981. Coût : Gratuit - (Réservation recommandée)

ABOUT THE ARTISTS: The Florida Highwaymen were a group of 26 African-American landscape painters that formed during the 1950s in Fort Pierce, Florida. Their careers took shape in a time and place where pursuing a career as an artist presented an alternative to working in citrus groves and labor camps. Denied access to private galleries due to segregation, the Highwaymen made a living selling their work door to door and from their cars along Florida’s eastern coastal roads A1A and US 1. Mary Ann Carroll, the only female artist in the
group, will travel to Ottawa for the opening of the exhibition and will participate in a series of public events discussing her life, art, and experiences as a member of the group. In 2011, Mrs. Carroll travelled to
Washington, D.C., and presented one of her works to First Lady Michelle Obama.

The film won the Best Canadian Feature award at the 2009 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. The film will be followed by a panel discussion including Chelby Daigle, Ottawa Police Service, Donald Morse, a planner with the City of Ottawa and a third panellist, to be confirmed. Suggested donation is $5 for the general public and $4 for One World Arts(www.oneworldarts.ca) members. Seating is limited.
