Exeko, fondé en 2006, est un organisme basé à Montréal qui oeuvre dans des projets touchant à l’innovation sociale. Les employés d’Exeko travaillent avec diverses populations en situation, ou ayant vécue l’exclusion sociale. Ainsi, ils travaillent auprès des personnes issues de l’immigration, les personnes en situation d’itinérance et les peuples autochtones. C’est toutefois depuis 2009 qu’Exeko met en oeuvre ses activités dans le cadre du projet Trickster en collaboration avec différentes communautés autochtones du Canada, principalement du Québec. Trickster est un programme culturel qui consiste en “la mise en scène d’un conte traditionnel autochtone, transmis par un aîné.e et interprété par des jeunes d’environ 8 à 16 ans. Le programme met l’accent sur des activités ludiques et créatives afin de renforcer la confiance en soi, le sentiment d’appartenance à la communauté, stimuler la créativité et offrir un ancrage culturel intergénérationnel entre les jeunes et les aîné.es’ (Trickster: Raconte-moi ta langue).
