Main topic: Intercomunale de Montreal: workshop of Fundaspad, survey

The inter-communal meeting is organized every Friday evening. Every other week there is a meeting with a workshop provided by FUNDASPAD and the other Fridays are reserved for the communities to discuss their problems.

FUNDASPAD

FUNDASPAD is a social organization that exists out of six volunteers working for three years to establish a sense of people’s power in different communities. They accomplish meetings in these communities to be able to teach about social and economical issues like human rights, legislation, how to get organized etc.
This meeting FUNDASPAD teach about exploitation. A small workshop is given to teach the people the boundaries of exploitation at work and their rights. When they are taken advance of, the inhabitants of the different communities can unify to plead their cause and have a better chance to accomplish their rights. The main focus of FUNDASPAD is to teach the people how to analyze their situation and construct ‘people’s power’ in the lower classes of society. In the last three years they had different experiences with these workshops
There is an attendance list kept by for the inter-communal meeting, here we can check which communities how often show up.

Survey

Some people of the communities that didn't receive a survey didn't understand the reason why and felt missed out. Victor helped explaining that a research about a part of Montreal would provide information to get a better understanding of the whole Montreal.
The willing to participate of the survey seems high. To illustrate this, one community that only received a single interview as an example, copied this in order to make the complete survey. Willington and Vera Cruz that didn't complete the survey yet will pass it through Victor Perez.

At the next meeting, the eight of May we will give a short presentation on the survey and our analysis so far.
