Express Yourself - Art competition:
Express yourself is an initiative of the Irish Human Rights Commission to encourage CSPE students to make human rights and equality in Ireland the focus of their CSPE Action Project and give voice to young people's concerns about how society should respect the dignity of every person.

They are inviting students to produce images and words that graphically illustrate a human rights and equality issue that concerns them and to place a spotlight on groups experiencing inequality and who need greater protection.  The posters and statements will feature in a National Exhibition at the Lighthouse Cinema, Smithfield, Dublin 7 from 25 March to 4th April.

Closing Date for entries is Wed. 29th Jan. 2014
