Résumé
"As part of a larger study being undertaken for the Mosaic Institute that looks into the effect of global conflicts on the lives and experiences of diaspora Canadians, The Strategic Counsel undertook twelve focus groups with Canadians or Canadian residents of six different ethno-cultural groups originating from regions in conflict. The focus groups were all held in the GTA during the weeks of March 18 and 25, 2013 and were conducted in formal focus group facilities with 7 to 9 participants in each session. Each group discussion followed the same loosely-structured moderator’s guide, covering a series of core questions regarding the group members’ perceptions of the conflict in question, their relationship to and views of those on the other side of the conflict, their assessment of relations between representatives from different sides of each conflict here in Canada, and their views of the actual and potential roles of dialogue and government-led initiatives in addressing any issues between both sides in the conflict."--Pages 2-3.
