One of its purposes is philanthropic: to raise funds for cancer research. This disease, responsible for 30% of deaths in Canada, is considered the deadliest and for which there is no effective treatment. M4C is one of five philanthropic festivals in Quebec, but the only one that combines music and cancer. This article presents the evaluation of the overall appreciation of the M4C festival, both of the underground music being played and its philanthropic purpose, as well as the motivations of the festival-goers for attending and returning (becoming loyal) to it. In order to better know and understand their appreciation, a double data collection was carried out. An online questionnaire collected quantitative data from 107 festival-goers in the fall of 2017, and a semi-structured interview was conducted with nine of them in the winter of 2018. Three strong points emerged from the results analysis. First, most of the festival-goers have a very high overall appreciation of M4C. Second, most of them have a very high appreciation of the underground music being played and its philanthropic purpose. Third, fundraising for cancer research is a big part of the motivation among most of the festival-goers for attending and returning (becoming loyal) to it.","PeriodicalId":439880,"journal":{"name":"Loisir et Société / Society and Leisure","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117000096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, many individuals in our communities do not experience belonging and are prone to isolation and loneliness. In this paper, we describe five themes that highlight ways to help enhance belonging, particularly for individuals susceptible to exclusion. These themes consist of community spaces that are open, inviting, and accessible; are welcoming; provide opportunities for participation and contribution; support social connections around a common interest; and establish and follow policies that create a culture of belonging. We discuss these themes specifically in relation to community leisure settings and explain that being intentional about inclusionary practices is an important and necessary commitment to enhancing a sense of belonging within these settings.","PeriodicalId":439880,"journal":{"name":"Loisir et Société / Society and Leisure","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132199969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the last 40 years, normalization theory has been a paramount conceptual cornerstone in inclusive recreation service delivery in both Canada and the United States. Building on Foucault’s research methodology of genealogy, this paper compares Nirje’s and Wolfensberger’s principle of normalization and argues that Nirje’s approach gives voice to cross-cultural difference, whereas Wolfensberger’s normalization principle advocates that people with disabilities conform and assimilate to the dominant cultures of society. That is, Nirje’s model is based on liberal autonomy whereas Wolfensberger’s approach is based on liberal equality. Inclusive recreation professionals should see persons with disabilities as multicultural beings and should use models and theories that are cross-culturally relevant, such as Nirje’s theory of normalization.","PeriodicalId":439880,"journal":{"name":"Loisir et Société / Society and Leisure","volume":"PP 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126707054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This participatory research, using a Living Lab approach, aimed to identify key elements that promote inclusive leisure experiences of people living with disabilities in creative workshops. Data were collected during four Fab Lab workshops and four Art Hives artistic workshops in two public libraries, with eight participants living with disabilities, using video recordings, photos, and two focus groups. Findings suggest that inclusive leisure experiences involve the physical access to places and activities (e.g., signalling of accessible entrances); opportunities for experiencing positive interactions (e.g., quality of reception on arrival); and engagement in meaningful activities. This experience is built before (e.g., organizing transport), during and after the activity. Suggestions for concrete actions for the various stakeholders are derived from these results.","PeriodicalId":439880,"journal":{"name":"Loisir et Société / Society and Leisure","volume":"215 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131574661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most importantly, leisure provides opportunities for social relationships, a key contributor to happiness. Belonging to valued social groups is an important outcome for all people, but especially for people with disabilities, who have been historically excluded or marginalized. This article describes a practice model used in therapeutic recreation called the Flourishing through Leisure Model: An Ecological Extension of the Leisure and Well-Being Model. In particular, one aspect of the model, inclusive leisure as an important outcome, is highlighted.

Strategies for changing the narrative are suggested, with particular reference to social construction theory and the role of inclusive leisure in reconstructing the meaning of disability. An argument for inclusion is discussed based on contact theory and the belongingness hypothesis.

We enable social engagement by fostering positive attitudes, using sensitive terms, nurturing positive contact, and acting as allies. For psychological engagement, we promote self-determination; teaching ways to engage in leisure via leisure education. Strategies to foster physical access include promoting universal design and making adaptations to create leisure opportunities. Factors influencing chances to experience leisure include culture, economic resources, age, ability, and family that influence attempts to negotiate, reduce, or eliminate barriers to leisure. To promote human rights, we welcome people of diverse cultural backgrounds providing opportunities to experience leisure together. To facilitate leisure for people with limited economic resources we work to improve safety, make programs affordable, and facilitate access. We promote healthy aging by responding to desires of people throughout their lives and facilitate leisure. To promote inclusion of people regardless of their abilities, we become responsive, emphasize the person and their identity, encourage autonomy, and involve participants. We create family-centered leisure services, developing cross-cultural competence, relieving family stress, and communicate with families.
