Malik Shaheed is a Quebec personality well known in the youth entertainment industry (ex VJ at MusiquePlus). He is also very implicated in community activities: « The main goal of this event is to prepare the kids for the national video contest Racism STOP IT! and the Mathieu Da Costa challenge. These public awareness activities can motivate youth to use their differences to come together through workshops that include video production, written compositions and drawings », says Malik Shaheed. In preparation of the national video contest For the video production workshop, the kids will have two hours to explore the multimedia world; half an hour for the introduction and detailed description of the activity, half an hour to compose a text about how to counter racial discrimination and racism, and finally an hour will be dedicated to filming. The kids will have access to professional equipment in order to prepare their interview simulation and test their technical capabilities. The national video contest Racism STOP IT! is part of the annual March 21st campaign, a campaign promoting the fight against racism in Canada. On your mark, get set, color… The drawing workshop will guide you to another challenge, Mathieu Da Costa’s challenge, who was the first Black man to set foot in Canada and who worked on Samuel de Champlain’s ship. It’s an opportunity to let kids exploit their creative talents in order to discover how individuals from different cultures have contributed to make Canada the country it is today. Kids will be supervised by a professional artist. He will be teaching them different drawing techniques and writing expressions in order to better prepare for the contest. The Mathieu Da Costa challenge is an annual writing and drawing contest. Launched in 1996 by the Department of Canadian Heritage, the challenge encourages youth to discover to what point cultural diversity is a common denominator in the shaping of our de history and of our society in Canada.
