The event Construire l’inclusion begins at 2:00 p.m. with a panel discussion featuring architect Sonia Gagné and Virginie LaSalle, a professor at the Université de Montréal’s Faculty of Environmental Design. The conversation will continue with a discussion period and an exhibition of architectural models created by design students.
Hosted at the À pas de géant center, an organization that supports autistic students aged 4 to 21 and provides educational and professional services for adults, the event takes place in a space specifically designed to accommodate sensory challenges often experienced by autistic individuals.
Admission is free, but attendees must register by April 18. For those unable to attend, the event will later be shared online through the social media channels of the Réseau pour transformer les soins en autisme (RTSA), which is organizing the event in collaboration with À pas de géant.
