AbstractThe aim of this article is to find out what level of potentialities migrant entrepreneurs have when they come back home as compared to their local peers. A synthesis of the main research projects about characteristics and actions of entrepreneurs has led us to establish the concept of entrepreneurial potentialities. The theoretical corpus thus obtained is completed by a resource-based approach extended to the effectual entrepreneur model.This theoretical corpus is supported by the revised Gasse survey, which has been given out to a sample of 393 Moroccan entrepreneurs, shared as LAM (40%) and Locals (60%).The LAM are the Living Abroad Moroccans, coming back to Morocco to settle their own company. The Locals are those who have always lived in Morocco and who are entrepreneurs. The 393 surveys are submitted to multi-dimensional and in-depth data analysis techniques. The results obtained confirm our initial hypothesis: living abroad Moroccans have a higher level of potentialities than local entrepreneurs when coming back home. Such results highlight new parameters that could help with internal support programmes. Those results lead to a more global approach of returning migration entrepreneurship, an approach that brings together fact-, action – and process – paradigms.

New opportunities are available to trade unions. Labour shortage and inflation provide favourable situations for trade union organizations, allowing them to regain lost ground. Furthermore, in addition to the recent decision of the Quebec Court of Appeal concerning Aluminerie de Bécancour Inc. (ABI) student workers, which recognizes that they cannot be paid less to perform equivalent tasks, recent legislative changes make it more difficult to adopt disparity treatment clauses and require the obligation of equivalent remuneration for agency workers. Recognizing the need for organizational change (the theme of this publication) for the various stakeholders in the labour world, the authors then ask this question: how could trade union organizations seize the opportunity that has arisen? In other words, how could they contribute to reducing job insecurity while ensuring the sustainabilityof organizations? After five decades of "headwinds", the situation is ripe for trade unions to take the offensive again and work to reverse the tide of job insecurity. To achieve this, the fetters of union corporatism must be released, and above all, trade unions must not be complacent with member satisfaction. On the contrary, education, mobilization and security actions are needed to counter the precariousness of the labour market. This favourable situation must also benefit precarious workers; such an opportunity will seldom arise!

Through a discussion of the use of sources and their political implications in François Hotman’s Francogallia, the author proposes to approach the question of representations of the Protestant community from the point of view of appeals to the past during the civil conflict. Technical and extra-technical material, which might seem to suggest modern critical historiography, can be understood as an ideological means of imposing a representation of national community that transcends factionalism: in this case, an ancient national community that nevertheless reflects the positions of the Protestant party. Thanks to antiquarian knowledge, the examination of the customs, languages, and institutions of the French kingdom’s Gallic, Frankish, and Germanic origins becomes a political statement. Hotman’s sources and their interpretation thus constitute a framework enabling him to present what we might call an ideological debate in terms of objective facts, giving at once a description of the past and a prescription for the present.

For many elderly people, participating in society is increasingly less obvious and less attained in old age. Sociocultural community developers, who work with the elderly, face therefore the challenge to contribute to maintaining and promoting the participation of older people in activities, in projects and in society. In this paper, we take a sample of students of a 1st cycle degree on sociocultural community development and analyse the strategies and practices reported by them to promote participation among the elderly population. A content analysis of 22 students’ internship reports was conducted; some students also answered a questionnaire or an interview. The data collected allow us to identify 11 strategies of promoting the participation of older people and to classify the types of participation described. These data also enable a discussion about representations of participation within the sociocultural community development.

This article presents the main results of a study conducted on the Congrès mondial acadien (CMA, or World Acadian Congress) held in Prince Edward Island and southeastern New Brunswick in 2019. A major cultural event in Acadia, organized every five years since 1994, the CMA aims to strengthen the ties between Acadia and its diaspora. It offers participants the opportunity to enjoy identity experiences, to have meaningful encounters, particularly in the context of family reunions, and to discuss Acadia and its diaspora. Our study focused on the meaning of the participant's experiences, particularly in terms of identity.
