Some issues in Canadian society, such as relations between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people, illustrate these challenges in a particularly evident manner. For example, any commitment initiative involving the aboriginal and non- aboriginal communitiesmust be designed first to promote reconciliation. This article outlines the lessons learned from a commitment experiment conducted in New Brunswick by alearning team made up of federal and provincial public servants, aboriginal and non-aboriginal citizens, and academic staff. It offers an original model inspired by experiments conducted in other activity sectors in Canada and based on five criteria: climate of trust, accessible and credible information, focus on commonality, dialogue on values and convictions, and flexible process. This article addresses some of the major current issues:governance, democracy, innovation, diversity, social cohesion, culture and values
