"It was really a remarkable testament to the maturity, wisdom, confidence and vision of the student body. The students who spoke shared their stories, fears and dreams with the audience. It was very moving and inspiring to be there". Attendee feedback

"Merci pour cette soirée, si inspirante pour tous. Les jeunes speakers étaient impressionnants de professionnalisme et d’humanité.
Merci d’aider nos enfants à puiser le meilleur en eux et à le chercher chez les autres. Cela les nourrira toute leur vie.
Mon fils y a assisté avec nous et il représente le spectateur idéal, à cet âge où l’on peut traverser et vivre des expériences similaires à celles qui ont été partagées ce soir. Cela constitue alors une grande aide et une ouverture sur un présent et un futur pleins de promesses".
