Inukrock is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the accessibility of rock climbing in Nunavik. Climbing is used as a stepping stone to promote the personal and professional development of Inuit youth. Youth empowerment is at the heart of this organization. You will meet Audrey (co-founder), Qirniulaut (climbing animator), who will share their experiences with us. Inukrock’s vision is to create a network of climbers from Nunavummiut who will become leaders in their communities. The conference will be held in English and French.

Céline Hequet explores a climbing counterculture where enthusiasts adopt a minimalist lifestyle, breaking away from capitalist norms. However, this culture, predominantly male since the 1950s, often reinforces gender stereotypes. Her talk sheds light on how male superiority remains valued in the heterosexual climbing community.
