From <strong>February 16 to 18, 2018<\/strong>, everyone from across Canada and the province of Quebec who uses the arts as tools for individual and social change is invited to share on the theme, <strong>\u00ab\u00a0The Arts as Tools for Peace\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers from Canada and abroad, artists of all stripes, researchers and scientists, as well as activists and representatives from groups that use the arts as part of their mission will be presenting, facilitating workshops, moderating debates, and performing. The Forum will also provide an excellent opportunity for individuals, cultural institutions and establishments to extend or maintain their networks. It will also be a great way to round off the 375th anniversary of Montreal and Canada\u2019s 150th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mobilizing for Peace<\/strong><br \/>\nThe goal of the Forum is to bring together key players from Canada\u2019s cultural, political, and business sectors, along with those from the health, justice, and civil society sectors to mobilize action towards a culture of peace based on social cohesion, dialogue, mutual understanding, and justice, in a world that is increasingly disoriented.<\/p>\n<p>The previous three editions of the Forum gathered hundreds of participants from all walks of life who presented and shared their experiences, best practices, accomplishments, how they used the power of the arts to create, invent, innovate, rejuvenate their environment, their communities, and spark social change. Certainly, the Montreal editions of the Power of the Arts Forum will expand and build on this national mobilization for a better world, where arts and culture play their full role as weapons of mass construction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Register Now<\/strong><br \/>\nPunctuated by dynamic cultural performances, workshops, thematic debates and plenary sessions, the Power of the Arts National Forum is a bilingual event, open to the general public. It will bring together a roster of Canadian and international presenters and performers.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fmjf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/2018-Power-of-the-Arts-Forum-Preliminary-Program.pdf\">download here the preliminary program<\/a>\u00a0of the 2018 Power of the Arts National Forum.<\/p>\n<p>To register, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eiseverywhere.com\/ereg\/newreg.php?eventid=253888&amp;&amp;language=eng\">fill out the registration form<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on previous editions of the Power of the Arts National Forum,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fmjf.ca\/en\/power-of-the-arts-national-forum\/\">see this page<\/a>.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em><small>-from Fondation Micha\u00eblle Jean Foundation <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fmjf.ca\/en\/power-of-the-arts-national-forum\/2017-power-of-the-arts-forum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a><\/small><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00ab\u00a0After three editions at Carleton University\u2019s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in Ottawa, the Micha\u00eblle Jean Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2018 Power of the Arts National Forum will be held in Montreal, at the invitation of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, an extension of the<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-more sd-all-trans\" href=\"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/power-of-the-arts-national-forum-2018\/#more-22090\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[119],"tags":[455,456,191,2435,625],"class_list":["post-22090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-conferences-education-training","tag-fondation-michaelle-jean","tag-fondation-michaelle-jean-foundation","tag-michaelle-jean-foundation","tag-peace","tag-power-of-the-arts-national-forum"],"cp_meta_data":{"_edit_last":["1"],"_wpml_media_featured":["1"],"_wpml_media_duplicate":["0"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22090\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artbridges.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
