Introduction

Workshops given by legal experts in your class

Our free, interactive and fun legal education workshops are run by volunteer legal experts all over Quebec and can be implemented in a regular class period. They prompt youth to reflect, challenge their ideas and take a stance on legal questions that are a part of their daily lives.

The law impacts our lives in many ways. This means that our workshops can be easily integrated in many places during curriculum planning.
