contest, a flagship event to mark the Week of Action Against Racism. This year, for the first time, the contest is open not only to schools in the Lanaudi\u00e8re region, but also to those in the greater Montreal area, offering a unique opportunity for young people from different communities to express themselves on racism and contribute to building a more inclusive society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR-CA\">\u201cMy Pen Against Racism\u201d is a literary competition that invites secondary school students to express themselves, through poetry, short stories, or essays, about their experiences, ideas, or reflections on racism and racial profiling. This competition aims to raise awareness among young people about the realities of racism, promote diversity, and encourage students to share their voices in a space where their stories are valued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR-CA\">Expanding the competition to the greater Montreal area is an initiative aimed at increasing the impact of this event and offering more young people the opportunity to participate in this movement for change. Through this expansion, Lakay hopes to bring together even more participants and help create a space for dialogue that transcends geographical boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR-CA\">Applications are open until February 28, 2025. Participants will have the chance to win numerous prizes and have their work published, thus increasing the visibility of their contributions within the community. The awards ceremony will take place on March 29, 2025, with special guests to celebrate the region&#039;s young talent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR-CA\">For more information about the competition or to register, please visit our website:\u00a0<\/span><a title=\"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/concours-de-texte\/\" href=\"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/concours-de-texte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\"><span lang=\"FR-CA\">https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/concours-de-texte\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-1\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-1\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-1\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ma plume contre le racisme et le profilage racialAffiche du concoursInscriptionOutils pour les \u00e9l\u00e8ves\u00c9ditions du concours20232024202520262027PhotosGagnantsTextes prim\u00e9s Troisi\u00e8me \u00e9dition du [...]","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"class_list":["post-118343","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","page_category-concours-de-texte-edition-2025"],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/118343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118343"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/118343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":119590,"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/118343\/revisions\/119590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakaymedia.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
