On January 30, 2026, Institut nordique du Québec invites you to participate in an online training and awareness workshop entitled Myths and Prejudices Against Indigenous Peoples. Reserve your spot now! Space is limited to 50 participants in order to maintain an environment conducive to discussion. This activity will be conducted in French.

Over three days, some twenty students learned about best practices in northern research.

Whether you work in health care, public safety, education, or other services—or are called upon to lead projects—it is essential to understand this context in order to collaborate effectively and build trust with Inuit communities. The online training program Histoire, culture et réalités contemporaines inuit, (12–15 hours) provides clear reference points to support daily practice:
