About the event
This conference marks the 50th anniversary of the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms by creating a space for collective reflection that goes beyond simple commemoration. It invites participants to consider what the Charter has made possible, the limits it has encountered, and the responsibilities it will be called upon to carry in the decades to come.
Rooted in the specific context of Quebec — particularly the recognition of socio-economic rights, its grounding in a francophone legal culture, and its dialogue with international human rights law — the conference approaches the Charter both as a legal instrument and as a shared social and cultural project, shaped by interpretation, practice, and lived experience.
The day is designed to be accessible, balanced, and engaging, combining legal reflection, field experience, student research, artistic creation, and public dialogue.
