9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ

October 3rd – 15th

On 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Campus and in the Community

Culture Shock is an annual event series dedicated to exploring the myths surrounding immigrants, refugees, indigenous people and communities of colour, and is co-organized by the Quebec Public Interest Research Group (QPIRG) at 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ and the Students’ Society of 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ (SSMU). Culture Shock seeks to bring together members of these communities to engage in dialogue about issues relevant to their lives, as well as to educate non-members around some of the issues faced by communities of colour in Canada.

All events are free and open to the public. The two fundraisers (the booklaunch and show during the first week, and the dance party taking place during the second week) involve suggested donations.
Culture Shock is an annual collaborative project between the Students’ Society of 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ (SSMU) and the Quebec Public Interest Research Group (QPIRG) at 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ. For childcare, please notify us 48 hours in advance.
