This article presents a scoping review focused on an activity used within outdoor therapies, in this case surfing. It is designed to outline the populations under study, the effects, and the key elements of surf therapy. In addition, it aims to shed light on social work. Using various databases, 16 articles published between 2000 and 2020 were selected. Most of these studies were conducted with children and adolescents (62%). A wide range of populations were studied: 25% of studies were carried out with veterans and people with physical and cognitive disabilities, while 19% are with people living with mental health problems, youth at risk or with a violence problem. A small proportion of studies (6%) involved people with addiction issues, whereas 19% were experiencing social exclusion in addition to another psychosocial problem. Effects on physical (44%), psychological (94%), social (63%) and spiritual (6%) health were found. As for the key elements, these included ocean immersion (31%), mindfulness (19%), experiencing challenge (31%) and group experience (50%). The discussion focuses on the relationships between effects, populations and key elements found in the studies. This leads to few findings for future work. Finally, the strengths and challenges of integrating surfing into Quebec's social work practice are highlighted.

This article, accompanied by the video of the temporary exhibition of the Museo Histórico Nacional de Chile, MHC (National Historical Museum of Chile), called “Sinopsis, sentidos de nación” (Synopsis, senses of the nation), reflects upon the challenges that a national history museum faces in the 21st century. This museum, created in 1911, still exhibits a story almost exclusively focused on the feat of the Nation-state and groups of power; an urban, male and military history, which ignores the historical character of minorities. Today, this historical construction results in the difficulty that national history museums, such as the Chilean one, have in transforming themselves into spaces for public dialogue about the past. The temporary exhibition of the MHN “Sinopsis, sentidos de nación”, seeks to advance towards new museological proposals that incorporate this reflection. To achieve this, it proposes a temporary journey on the different senses of belonging in the history of Chile. While the video takes us on a tour of the exhibition, this article seeks to clarify the declaration of intention of its museological and museographic approach in educational, narrative and political terms, with the aim of answering pedagogical questions about the role of a museum with a national vocation and historical dedication, as well as to incorporate minorities in an inclusive and intersectional perspective.
Keywords: Museo Nacional de Chile, museografía y educación, National Historical Museum of Chile, museographic approach to education, Le Musée national historique du Chili, l'approche muséographique de l'éducation

This article underscores the ethno-cultural diversity present in society, particularly in its social dynamics and forms of artistic expression. It thereby addresses the ethnic dimension of social relationships, given that encounters with the Other (and the Other's so-called cultural differences) evoke both fascination and fear. Why ? Because culture is not neutral in and of itself, but results from the conjugation of power relationships imposed by the dominant class that controls the development mechanisms of the economy, the media, mass culture and art, etc. To put it succinctly, “managing” differences is as much a function of systemic determinants as of perceptual phenomena generated by the combined results of the confrontation between fascination and fear of the Other. In conclusion, the article proposes some avenues of thought for social and cultural practices.

This portrait follows the footsteps of ethnohistorian Michel Lessard, from the time of his childhood and youth, when he discovered the wonders of traditional material culture (1942-1968). We then consider the vastness of his intellectual activities, as he produced a pioneer set of encyclopedic works (1968-2007), besides editing collections of old photographs (1986-2013). This overview constitutes a broad survey of the many ways in which Lessard interpreted the most important and meaningful aspects of Québec history through his journey of discovery, as he uncovered traces of traditional material culture everywhere.
