Refugees and Human Rights – Student Poetry Contest

It is with great pleasure that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Canada (UNHCR), the Canadian Commission for UNESCO (CCUNESCO) and COSTI Immigrant Services would like to invite your students to take part in the annual “Refugees and Human Rights” student poetry contest. This contest, open to students across Canada from Grades 4 to 12, provides them with the opportunity to express their feelings and opinions – in English or in French – on the theme of refugee and human rights issues. We believe this contest will fit naturally within the social studies and civic education curricula, while also promoting greater interest in creative writing.

CBC Vancouver’s Junior J-School
January 23, 2016
Ever wonder how a story makes it onto TV or radio? Or how social media and digital channels are changing the face of journalism for reporters? Do you have what it takes to report from the front lines?
We are inviting 350 students in grades 10, 11 and 12 from Metro Vancouver to CBC Vancouver’s Studio 40 to attend Junior J-School. This one-day workshop offers a unique opportunity for students to learn from veteran CBC journalists such as Adrienne Arsenault, Rosemary Barton, Andrew Chang, Rick Cluff and more. Throughout the day, students will be given an intimate and behind the scenes look into their work.

Saturday January 23, 2016
10:00 am – 4:30 pm (9:00 am registration, lunch provided)
CBC Vancouver Broadcast Centre, 700 Hamilton Street
Not a grade 10, 11, or 12 student in Metro Vancouver, or can’t attend in person?
You can still join us online! The event will be live streamed on our website and via Periscope.
The event will be live streamed on cbc.ca/bc and via Periscope @CBCVancouver
