Centre virtuel de ressources sur l’engagement

Le processus de mobilisation du public canadien à l’aide internationale contribue à promouvoir la citoyenneté mondiale au sein de la population. Les citoyens et citoyennes canadiens prennent conscience des efforts que déploie le Canada en matière d’aide internationale, notamment sur le plan de la politique féministe d’aide internationale et, plus globalement, des contributions qu’apporte le Canada aux objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies. En fin de compte, en comprenant mieux comment les enjeux nationaux sont liés aux enjeux mondiaux, les Canadiens et les Canadiennes auront plutôt tendance à prendre des mesures qui contribueront à l’établissement d’un monde pacifique, prospère et inclusif.

Cette trousse d’outils se veut une plateforme collaborative et évolutive visant à soutenir les organisations canadiennes qui souhaitent mobiliser les Canadiens et les Canadiennes sur des enjeux mondiaux. Elle a été conçue pour un large public de praticiens, peu importe leur niveau de familiarité avec le domaine de la mobilisation publique. Les outils et les ressources présentés dans cette trousse ont été développés par Affaires mondiales Canada, les partenaires canadiens, d’autres entités fédérales ainsi que des organisations internationales.

Les renseignements et les ressources ont été regroupés et organisés de manière à s‘harmoniser au continuum du changement de comportement pour devenir un citoyen du monde [qui comprend les étapes de (1) sensibilisation, (2) compréhension et (3) action].

Putting Public Engagement "into action"
3.1 – Celebrate International Development Week International Development Week (IDW) is an annual initiative held during the first full week of February since 1991 to engage Canadians on global issues. This uniquely Canadian tradition also aims to celebrate Canadian contributions to poverty reduction and international humanitarian assistance in the developing world. Across the country and abroad, Canadian individuals and organizations mark this week by participating in and organizing IDW activities. IDW is Global Affairs Canada’s flagship public engagement initiative and development communications campaign. It represents a great opportunity for the government and organizations to engage their audience on global issues, on top of being an excellent platform to showcase public engagement and global citizenship initiatives. During the next edition of IDW, consider taking part in the celebrations by organizing your own activity. You can have a look at the IDW activity planning guide, use the IDW visual identity and add your activity to the IDW online calendar. Do not hesitate to contact the IDW team by email at idw-sdi@international.gc.ca to get more information on how to get involved during the week..
