Abandoning traditional teaching approaches and monotonous motivational lectures geared for students, youth-led organization The 411 Initiative For Change (www.whatsthe411.ca), is working with Plan Canada to present a Girls’ Rights themed education program for schools across Ontario - in the format of a mock live-to-air TV Talk Show. Canadian hip-hop artists Eternia and Masia One use their music and personal experiences to generate discussions on issues affecting girls in Canada and around the world. The show is hosted by journalist Nana Abu-Duncan. MTV Canada hosts Nicole Holness and Aliya-Jasmine Sovani, along with Diane Salema join the conversation through pre-taped segments to discuss their trips to visit girls in Haiti, Colombia and Sudan. This highly effective, entertaining and candid program has already been presented to 25,000+ students in Ontario and Quebec. Nov. presentations will reach 10,000+ female students in Brampton, Mississauga, Richmond Hill, Etobicoke, Scarborough, Brechin, Sudbury, Thunder Bay. Dryden, Sioux Lookout, St. Catherines, Waterdown, Sarnia & Windsor.
