Kwei!, Kuei! As part of its efforts to reduce the digital divide and meet the specific needs of young indigenous and their communities, Printemps numérique is proud to launch the second cohort of Young Indigenous Ambassadors for a desirable digital future, with a brand new concept: Mamo-Mamu (meaning TOGETHER in the Atikamekw and Innu languages).
To represent Quebec’s Indigenous nations, a dozen participants aged 18 to 35 will take part in MTL connect, free of charge, from October 15 to 18, 2024. Since 2019, Digital Spring has been collaborating with aboriginal organizations to implement digital education initiatives for young people.
Find out more about the organizations and partners who will be contributing to the young ambassadors’ experience at MTL connect:
With the continued support of our collaborators from the first edition, we are pleased to introduce our new major partner IVADO; Interdisciplinary and Intersectoral AI Research Consortium.
« As a partner in the Mamo/Mamu collective project, IVADO is proud to contribute to an initiative that highlights concrete solutions for enhancing the value of Indigenous cultures. Adopted responsibly, artificial intelligence enables us to explore new avenues and offer innovative responses to a number of issues faced by indigenous communities » – Réjean Roy, Director of Training and Knowledge Mobilization, IVADO
