A BOOK OF Poems:
Expressions from our Youth
In 2009 the UNHCR Toronto office (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) and COSTI Immigrant
Services organized the first Refugees and Human Rights Child and Youth Poetry Contest in commemoration of
World Refugee Day, June 20. The purpose of the contest has been to bring human rights education, particularly
awareness to the refugee situation, to the Canadian classroom. By asking youth to write poetry about refugees
and human rights acts as a tool to encourage Canada’s future to think as humanitarian and compassionate leaders
towards their brothers and sisters living worldwide.
Additionally, the publication of this book acts as a commemoration piece for the significant anniversaries for both
COSTI Immigrant Services and the UNHCR. In 2011 the UNHCR will celebrate its 60th anniversary of the 1951
Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, the 50th Anniversary of the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of
Statelessness and the 150th anniversary of the birth of Fridtjof Nansen, League of Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees. COSTI Immigrant Services will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2012. In addition to the wide range of
settlement services provided to refugees, it operates the Ralph Chiodo Family Immigrant Reception Centre, which
provides accommodation and support services to government assisted refugees in the greater Toronto area. The
Centre’s operations are funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
