Technology has transformed our society and propelled it to unexpected heights. Think of medicine, the Internet, computers, and cell phones. It demonstrates human genius. It has allowed the most remote populations to connect with the rest of the world. It now occupies a central place. But now they are experts around the world warning us of this very real threat  : security, physical and psychological health, personal identity, overconsumption, environmental disaster, etc.

Technology has become much more than just a tool at the service of humans. This workshop offers us a useful and desirable reflection on the place of technology in oursociety. It leads us to measure its impact in our daily lives and to measure its use.

As a recognized agent of social change, Canadian facilitator Jean Provencher will bring his decades-long expertise and social commitment to participants.

Activity accessible to all audiences: individuals, schools, companies, organizations

Understand the insidious factors that lead to a dependence on technologies, fueled by the dream they constantly let us believe.

Be aware of the harmful impacts that are caused by the manufacture, acquisition, excessive use and abandonment of technological equipment and materials.

Define the actions, attitudes, behaviors, and actions that can be implemented daily to avoid technology-related harms.
