Because democracies rely upon a well-educated citizenry, CCLET’s mission is to engage Canadians in developing the habits they need to participate in the democratic process. Among the outreach programmes of the Canadian Civil Liberties Trust are Civil Liberties in the Schools and Teaching Civil Liberties. These programs focus on getting students to ask critical questions about their rights and freedoms. By shining the light of inquiry on unfairness, we begin the process of change. Through CCLET guest speakers, conferences, and workshops for schools and community organizations, participants are engaged in lively discussions about their rights and freedoms and the important legal and civil liberties issues created by a pluralistic society. Particular emphasis is on providing programmes for student teachers, and high school law and social studies students.

The Canadian Centre for Diversity provides interactive programs that educate young Canadians to see beyond stereotypes, to respect difference and to become leaders of positive social change. Through our unique Peer Leaders Network program, students send out the message that prejudice and bullying are not acceptable. Using respect and understanding as guiding principles, our program has created a model that is inspiring high school students to rethink their own attitudes and to take decisive action against discriminatory behaviour and bullying.   We plan to grow our Peers program from 20 to 100 schools by 2014, impacting 85,000 students directly and at least 425,000 indirectly. It costs just $30 per student to ensure that Canadian high schools are safe, inclusive places to learn and grow for all students. Please help us to make a difference.
