Argument :
This presentation will explain some of the main challenges for inclusion and long-term issues for maintaining and establishing social ties that promote social cohesion. This will be illustrated with data from three ongoing research projects. Following the illustration of these issues, the paper proposes to highlight some of the most important elements to include on different training programs with two concrete examples of initiatives being implemented.Historically, the Canadian migration system has always functioned through the selection of individuals and groups (Frozzini & Law, 2017). We also know that there is a precariousness inscribed in most Canadian migration statuses with limits, among others, to access to services and permanent residence (Frozzini & Law, 2017; Frozzini & Mvogo Balla, 2021; Landolt & Goldring, 2013). We are also aware that intercultural encounters, in this context, are influenced by the subtleties shaping social relations (through the articulation of various organizational levels and the coordination allowed by the administrative prescriptions in place) to ensure control (surveillance) of im/migrants (Browne, 2009, 2014; Frozzini, 2020; Haas & Shuman, 2019). The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has further illustrated certain trends related to the preferences and conceptions expressed in Quebec/Canada about im/migrants entering the territory (Asselin, 2020; Frozzini et al., 2020; Porter, 2020; Radio-Canada, 2020; Saba, 2020; Touzin, 2020) and the need for training to counter these narratives. What effects do theseelements have on the relationship with the other and social cohesion? What kind of training and content can be proposed? To answer these questions, we propose a metaanalysis of data from three ongoing research projects in Quebec: (1) the first examines the situation of international students during and after the lockdown; (2) the second examines the structural causes of migration and the agency of temporary migrant workers in the agricultural sector; and (3) the third examines variations in the perception of im/migrants in the print media from 1960 to 2021. The first two projects focus on populations with precarious status and provide an overview of the situation of these populations in a context that has become more complex and where management technologies have become more restrictive. The third allows us to historically situate certain factors specific to these populations. With the help of these data, we will be able to illustrate some of the challenges for inclusion and some of the long-term issues for maintaining and establishing social ties that promote social cohesion. Then, I will be able to mention some of the most important elements to include in different training programs with two concrete examples of initiatives; in which I'm involved: (a) training modules (formation autoportante en ligne) for international students and University of Quebec's staff (professors, administration, etc.) about the international students; and (b) a guide for the training of trainers: people in various settings/contexts (university, community sector, municipality, etc.) developed by a group of experts that I coordinate (Groupe de travail sur la formation en interculturel au Québec).ReferencesAsselin, C.
