Make the Most of Winter!
Combine your MEM visit with skating at the esplanade Tranquille.
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? Do they see themselves as future citizens who can make a difference in their community? As they explore the museum, students learn about social movements that have shaped Montréal. In teams, they outline a project that they could implement in their school or neighbourhood.
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
Students learn about the metropolis’s characteristics, territory, population, and power of attraction, as well as the challenges it faces today. The visit encourages them to use their creativity to come up with innovative solutions to a challenging problem: affordable housing for all.
