Through Le Machin Club, Pamela strives to empower children and foster a more conscious and aware generation in Quebec City's vibrant cultural landscape. Pamela recounts her journey from a summer camp counsellor to establishing her organisation and her mission to spark curiosity and empathy within young people. She shares her challenges, achievements, and transformative experiences in places like Senegal and Brazil, which have shaped her views on privilege, social awareness, and consumerism.

Key Quotes

Le Machin Club uses media arts to create a spark in the kids
In the nine years that it has been running, we've been involving over around 500 children
Here we have a lot of privileges and we should not take them for granted
There's a lot of injustice in the world and when you discover that perspective, you either do nothing with it or you see what you can do.
I think arts in general are opening the boundaries we have in our own mindset.
