Introduction: Near peer mentorship (NPM) programs can help support medical students’ well-being. Most studies, however, have not accounted for students’ underlying motives to mentor, nor focused on clinical skills development and teaching. These limitations represent opportunities to better understand what motivates medical student mentors, and how to support their autonomous motivation, clinical development, and well-being.Methods: Informed by self-determination theory (SDT), we collected data from a group of medical student mentors involved in a NPM program at the University of Saskatchewan called PULSE. We then used correlation and regression to assess the relationship between students’ autonomous motivation towards mentoring, perceived competence in teaching the clinical material, and psychological well-being.Results: In line with our hypotheses, autonomous motivation towards mentoring (identified motivation in particular) was associated with higher perceived competence in clinical teaching, which in turn was associated with greater psychological well-being.Conclusions: Why medical students choose to mentor in NPM programs appears to have important implications for their clinical confidence and overall well-being. Findings are discussed in terms of designing NPM programs that support student growth and wellness in Canadian medical education.

Under the guise of decolonizing and modernizing laws, the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance government has sought amendments in laws governing every aspect of digital communication in India, such as cellular mobile, instant messaging, news, and entertainment. The government has dramatically expanded its power to control and regulate different forms of digital communications, exerting significant influence over what people watch, read, hear, and think. This extensive authority enables the government to monitor, surveil, censor, and shape public mood and opinion, thus placing communications under siege. In today’s world, communication technologies are deeply embedded in our daily lives as we transmit, share, and broadcast information. In India, the enduring legacy of colonial surveillance powers continues to shape and influence the surveillance over digital communications. This Dialogue paper argues that authoritarian surveillance in India is not merely a direct manifestation of the colonial legacy of British rule, but rather a fusion of enduring authoritarian features rooted in the colonial past, and the prevailing authoritarian intentions and practices of the post-colonial present.

Through an analysis of the Musée de l’Homme in Paris, this article questions the contemporary transformations of museum institutions confronting social and scientific expectations. Heir to the Musée d’ethnographie du Trocadéro, the Musée de l’Homme has undergone major changes since its refoundation in 2015. Redefined as a museum of human sciences, it is organized around three major questions: identity, origins and the future of humanity. The institution implements a participative museography, integrating innovative mediation devices, active listening to its audiences and a policy of engaged exhibitions. Thanks to partnerships with researchers, artists and associations, the institution develops a reflective approach to the colonial past, attentive to contemporary issues (racism, the environment, diversity). The article thus highlights the emergence of a more inclusive and civic-minded museum model, in the tradition of critical museology.

A cultural action that is positive, enthusiastic, marked by good physical health and triumphant youth is being consolidated in Algeria. This growth, which is based on new training in sociocultural community development, is part of a broader movement of civil society. Indeed, since the adoption in 2023 of a bill to set up mechanisms for an active and effective associative movement within society, the law on associations is being harmonized with the Article 53 of the new Algerian constitution, under which the right to create associations is guaranteed and can be exercised by a simple declaration, associations which may be dissolved only by a court decision. If the social aspect still prevails over the cultural aspect of sociocultural community development, everything is being set up so that it can play its full role in the development of the country by 2030-2035.

This text examines the tendency towards conformism and social hypocrisy, which form the indispensable breeding ground for any totalitarian drift. Totalitarian power dictates new codes of social conduct. Ideology freezes discourse in a paranoiac collective delusion. Sectarian reactions are all in the name of “virtues”: the “common good”, “altruism”, “responsibility”, activating the narcissistic ideal of the savior in the human psyche. All these supposed virtues have one and the same function: to make the citizen feel guilty for never being “responsible enough”, never being “altruistic enough”, never sacrificing “enough” for the “Common Good”. Thus, the citizen will find his comfort and narcissistic gratification in the glory of participating in the “Common Good”, for which he is required to sacrifice himself. The article analyzes the initiation ritual as a means of cementing shared guilt and alienating the individual into a collective delusion, in which the aim is to silence in the name of virtue.
