Parole inclusive

What is it?

The projects held within the Inclusive Speech Lab aim to develop processes that facilitate a public speaking platform for underrepresented groups within democratic speech processes.

Today, other types of experiments are interested in the articulation of democratic exchange between elected officials and citizens, especially with the youth of Habitations Jeanne-Mance in Montreal.
