The RHU “I Care” National School Competition harnesses the passion, energy and imagination of the Lebanese secondary school students in promoting the “I Care” value and presenting a manifestation of everyone's ability to propel change and make a difference in the community. The themes are “I Care for Arabic Language,” “Human Rights” and “Inclusion,” in addition to a new theme added this year, “Sustainability Project.”
The “I Care” competition serves as a platform for high school students to stage their opinions about challenging issues that confront our community. The aim is not only to build awareness around these topics, but also generate light in our collective march to a better world.
We at RHU strongly believe that the youth in Lebanon, whose future is forgotten in the noise, have the potential to fashion a fair, caring, prosperous, and inclusive community.
