Inês Nascimento Lopes, who is successfully pursuing a doctorate degree in educational psychology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), is a student for whom nothing seems impossible. Highly aware of the problems relating to education, she wrote her thesis on heightening awareness of current social, humanitarian and environmental issues among youngsters. Her pedagogical program CAUSE, which focuses on these three concepts, is already a promising success. Following two years implementing and thus perfecting the program, it will now be distributed to teachers who will integrate it into their teaching methods. In her steadfast commitment to education, the young student also created a Web site in order to offer other educational resources for the teaching profession. In addition to an excellent academic career, Inês has carried out numerous social endeavours which have all met with success. The instigator of Cinéma Politica-UQAM, a politically-committed film society, she also does volunteer work for a number of organizations such as the Centre de services psychologiques at UQAM and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Marked by a dozen scholarships, Inês’s dazzling career path reflects the intellectual and emotional intensity she devotes, day after day, to each and every one of her actions.
