What will you pack?
In a tour of the MEM, students revisit the history of Montréal through the lens of immigration. A role-playing game helps build empathy for the range of migration experiences by asking the question: what do people pack when they have to leave one country for another?
Sparking Civic Engagement
Are your students interested in politics and bringing about change? During this tour of the MEM, they’ll learn about social movements that have shaped Montréal. They’ll also get to brainstorm ideas for their own civic engagement project!
Accessible Montréal
As they visit the MEM, students reflect on the impacts of disabilities and consider ways to make the museum more accessible. This exploration provides students with a valuable opportunity to expand their understanding of issues related to disability, inclusion, and accessibility.
Montréal metropolis
