About Us (Canada)

The initiative of promoting a culture of responsibilities and a Charter of Human Responsibilities at the international level is supported financially by the la Fondation Charles Léopold Mayer pour le progrès de l’Homme (FPH), in collaboration with volonteers and organizations who recognize the importance of this endeavor. It is facilitated by the Centre de recherche et animation socioéconomique et culturelle acting as a partner of the FPH in Québec and Canada.

The team:

The core of the Québec/Canada Committee is made up of Cécile Sabourin and Fabienne Présentey. Other collaborators contribute according to initiatives and projects.

Cécile Sabourin, economist and professor at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT) is involved in the diffusion of the Charter of Human Responsibilities in Québec and Canada since the first meeting of the international facilitation team during the fall of 2003. She was then terminating an important phase of the Women and Economy Workhop of the Socioeconomy of Solidarity Workgroup (Pôle socioéconomie solidiare-PSES) of the Alliance for Responsible, Plural and United World. Complementary to her work at the university, this initiative opened up an opportunity to reconcile her interests in research regarding both the analysis and the promotion of alternative economic practices.

In May 2009, she terminated two mandates as president of the Fédération québécoise des professeures et professeurs d’université (FQPPU), a union-based organization involved in political aspects and representation at the postsecondary education level. This responsibility has facilitated the deepening of her reflexions and oriented her actions in relation with the roles et responsibilities of professors and universities toward society.FP site
