Canadian Parents for French is pleased to announce the 15 winners of the 2023 national finals of Concours d’art oratoire and to share their winning videos with you. Concours d’art oratoire is a great opportunity for students to showcase their French-speaking abilities.
A total of 28 students from seven provinces and territories were eligible to participate in the national finals taking place virtually. First place winners from each provincial or territorial competition submitted an original video speech to compete among students from across the country in one of five categories.
We congratulate all participants on their success, and we hope to inspire others and continue to champion the benefits of learning and using their second official language throughout their life.
