Quebec Legal Education Week (QLEW) is back for its 6th edition, from November 10 to 14! This year’s edition is supported by Simon Jolin-Barrette, Minister of Justice of Quebec, and Quebec’s department of justice.
During the five days of Quebec Legal Education Week (QLEW), volunteer legal professionals will lead fun, interactive, and free workshops for high school students across Quebec.
Teachers: request a workshop today! Invite a legal professional into your classroom to lead a workshop on a topic that matters to your students. It’s free, and Éducaloi takes care of everything!
Legal professionals: sign up to lead a workshop! By leading a workshop, you help students discover the law and reflect on everyday legal situations.
Engaging youth through the law
QLEW’s interactive workshops encourage students to think about the role of laws, rights, and institutions in building a fair and democratic society. Students discuss, debate, and take a stance on real-life questions that matter to them, such as:
-
Should a politician be allowed to create any law they want?
-
Can the police search my things and my social media accounts whenever they want?
-
Should cosmetic surgery be banned for teenagers?
These workshops give students the chance to develop critical thinking, better understand their role as citizens, and gain confidence in navigating legal situations.
