Stand up for Youth essay contest

If you're an aspiring human rights advocate, now's your chance to speak up! Thanks to financial support from Canadian Heritage, Éducaloi is holding the Stand Up for Youth essay contest for Secondary 4 and 5 students in Quebec. The contest focuses on four themes: freedom of religion; child custody decisions; work and school; and teenagers and criminal justice. If you wish to participate, you must select a theme and then put yourself in the shoes of a lawyer, judge or social worker to answer a theme-related question in either English or French. The winners will receive an iPad® or $250. The contest closes on December 16, 2011. For full details, go to the Youth Zone (www) in the Éducaloi site.
