 Texts

  1. Eliano Rossi, “Immigration and diversity: Inclusion drives Canadian values”, an article from The Source Forum of Diversity website, 2015
  2. Murtaza Hussain, “What the world can learn from Canadian multiculturalism”, an article from Al Jazeera English website, 2013
  3. Dongwoo Kim and Navneet Khinda, “After Trudeau’s cabinet reveal, we no longer have to ask ‘Am I Canadian enough?’”, an article from The Globe and Mail website, 2015.

Presentation of the topic

Multiculturalism is the coexistence of several cultural traditions in a single country. Although multiculturalism should be based on integration and open-mindedness (like in Canada’s example), many countries tend to reject it by isolating and segregating immigrants and making them feel alienated and lacking identity.
