Conversations that matter
Since 2018, the Digital Cafés have given young people a space to discover technologies, discuss their digital realities and make their voices
heard. Discussions and vox pops with participants contributed in particular to the publication of the study “Culture and Digital Inequalities: Uses Among Young People in Québec” by Printemps numérique in 2020. The Digital Cafés
carried out as part of the Jeunesse QC 2030 project are presented by Hydro-Québec and supported by the Secrétariat à la jeunesse(SAJ).
