Canadian Parents for French Public Speaking Contest

It is said that one of our biggest fears is public speaking. And what’s the best way to get over our fears and become more resilient and confident? By facing them head-on!

This longstanding public-speaking contest is open to youth who are learning French in school. It’s a great way to celebrate their many hours of hard work and official language bilingualism in Canada!

We’ve had some winners from MDJH featured in this contest, including two from last year.
