This collaboration led in 2017 to a large-scale multisector partnership, made possible thanks to funding from Fonds Vert Québec and the Government of Quebec's International Climate Cooperation Program.
This partnership, named Climat'Eau, was a real learning experience for all the organizations and hundreds of people who participated in it. Although the project ended in the middle of a pandemic, it was impossible for us not to share the results of this experience.
This is why, with the collaboration of Montreal filmmaker Olivier Côté, we have put together a short documentary in which we hope to share the results and lessons learned from this rich and luminous multisector partnership.
The entire Umalia team as well as key project partners would be delighted to share their experience and answer any questions you may have. Please contact us!
