Winter School 2026: Emotions: driving social change

Institut du Nouveau Monde winter retreat

How do emotions - fear, anger, optimism - influence our individual and collective commitments?

The Institut du Nouveau Monde (INM) invites young people and citizens to a winter retreat at the chalet, a privileged moment to reflect, exchange and recharge their batteries around an essential question:
what if our emotions were the key to social change?

📅 February 20 to 22, 2026

🏡 At Camp Le P'tit Bonheur (Lac-Supérieur)

Under the theme «Emotions: driving social change», Winter School 2026 offers a collective experience of reflection and dialogue to better understand how our feelings influence our commitment.
An invitation to think with your head... and with your heart.

Three thematic routes to explore our emotions as citizens

Apathy and immobility

Understand the causes of political disinterest and social disengagement. (Bilingual course)

Anger and frustration

Catalysts for action or risks of polarization? How to channel these emotions for change.

Resilience, community and self-care

Taking care of yourself and others to make a lasting commitment.

It's a date!
