Comité interordres de la relève étudiante

Call for applications for the Comité interordres de la relève étudiante

The work of the Comité interordres de la relève étudiante (CIRÉ) is aimed at enriching the Council’s thinking by further involving the next generation of students in its reflections, activities and publications. More specifically, CIRÉ is interested in issues and questions that affect the education community, and participates in the dissemination of the Council’s reflections and work.

CIRÉ is different from a student association in that it does not aim to represent or promote the interests of a specific group, institution or level of education. Moreover, this new committee will enhance and diversify the student presence on the Council’s bodies, as it aims to mobilize students in a concerted manner so they can contribute to the Council’s reflections and mission.
