In response\, the CEGEP decided to make the noti on of living together in harmony a special pedagogical project. It hired “hall workers” and encouraged intercultural meetings\, discussion foru ms\, intergenerational debates and other projects\, hoping that this knowl edge sharing about the different cultures represented at the school would take place in a spirit of goodwill. The series is based on the points of v iew of seven students recorded in 2018 and in the fall of 2021.
