de 2020
Propositions acceptées du 15 octobre 2019 au 7 février 2020

Les défis et les prix d’excellence sur l’histoire des Afro-Néoécossais sont une

du domaine de l’éducation de partout dans la province. Le but des défis est

écoles.
Nous savons que les défis permettront de mobiliser tous les élèves et de les faire
participer en éveillant la curiosité historique et la créativité artistique. Grâce
à différents choix de médias, les élèves de tous les niveaux scolaires peuvent
participer.
J’invite tous les élèves et enseignants à participer aux défis sur l’histoire des Afro-
Néoécossais et j’ai hâte de vous accueillir à la cérémonie de remise des prix du
DBDLI en 2018. Laissons place à la célébration et à l’éducation toute l’année.
Salutations distinguées.
