Kaleidoscope, children's books for an egalitarian world

Discover Kaleidoscope, children’s books for an egalitarian world!

This web directory of more than 400 books with stories that are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious, promotes egalitarian models and behaviors among 0-12 year olds.

www.kaleidoscope.quebec

Very early in their lives, children are assigned distinctive social roles related to being a boy or a girl, being of one cultural origin or another, coming from a heterosexual family or not, meeting beauty standards or not. Certain behaviors, often transmitted or adopted unconsciously, are the expression of discrimination and inequality.

In order to promote non-stereotypical representations of children and, at the same time, participate in the construction of a more egalitarian and inclusive world, the YWCA Quebec, through its Girls’ Centre team, has made a selection of books deemed exemplary in terms of equality education.

Classified by age category but also by theme, the books in the Kaleidoscope selection address subjects of social interest such as cultural diversity, family diversity, the right to education, homosexuality, body image, immigration, etc. The books proposed will help children to get away from preconceived ideas and reductive roles that may be associated with them, in addition to encouraging reflection, the development of critical thinking, openness and tolerance. These books are an excellent starting point for dialogue with children and provide them with the appropriate vocabulary to express themselves.

A Kaleidoscope is a toy that allows you to see reality in all its colors, in all its facets. A reality that sometimes changes depending on who is looking at it, but which especially makes differences and diversity shine. Today we are pleased to put Kaleidoscope in your hands. We hope that you will be able to use it to help the children around you to build a more equal world.

The suggested books are available in Quebec public libraries and bookstores.

It only remains to wish you beautiful discoveries and readings
that will bring pleasure, wonder and reflection to the children around you!

KALEIDOSCOPE SELECTION – ADDITION 2023

KALEIDOSCOPE KIT

The Kaleidoscope Kit contains 12 workshops to be held with young people aged 12 to 17. The eight Kaleidoscope themes are addressed through the activities. Each workshop contains a short introduction to provide additional information on the theme. The workshops have been designed and thought through with a view to popular education. Popular education aims to bring knowledge to participants while stimulating their critical thinking. Several activities are based on books from the Kaleidoscope collection, and book recommendations are provided for participants.

👚 Saviez-vous que chaque année lors des change 👚 Saviez-vous que chaque année lors des changements de saisons, nos résidentes ont l’occasion de venir à l’Écoboutique pour choisir autant d’items qu’elles le désirent?

Non seulement cela donne un coup de main à l’équipe de l’Écoboutique qui doit renouveler l’inventaire, mais cela nous permet aussi de leur faire plaisir et d’étoffer davantage leur garde-robe ainsi que celles de leurs enfants.

Chaque achat et chaque don a un impact pour la YWCA Québec. Un grand merci 💙
C'est sans surprise mais avec beaucoup de désolat C'est sans surprise mais avec beaucoup de désolation que nous découvrons les dernières données sur l'itinérance au Québec.

Entre 2018 et 2022, le nombre de personnes en situation d’itinérance « visible » a presque doublé! Et tout indique que la situation continue de se dégrader depuis.

Notre centre d'hébergement pour femmes violentées a dû refuser 4300 demandes d'aide l'année dernière, contre 2000 l'année précédente. 

Ce vendredi, la directrice générale de la YWCA Québec, Stéphanie Lampron, prendra part au Sommet municipal sur l’itinérance pour offrir une perspective terrain à la discussion. 

Mobilisons-nous pour que ça change!
