As main speaker, Quincy suggested that media representation of immigration is very negative and we should consider the many positive aspects.

The team was complimented by the judges on a clear and thought provoking presentation.

The competition was organised after members of the Youth Parliament decided to start a national campaign aiming to tackle racism and religious discrimination in society.
