Anti-Racism Student Challenge call for entries
March 21 is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. To mark the occasion, Multicultural Education Program of the P.E.I. Association for Newcomers to Canada is holding its 5th annual Anti-Racism Challenge, a creative competition for Island students.
The purpose of the challenge is to engage youth in grades 7 to 12 in a creative process to express their ideas on the topic of anti-racism.
Youth are encouraged to explore the meaning of antiracism (not anti-bullying or anti-violence) prior to developing their submission.
