The exhibition will engage youth in thought‐provoking dialogue on global issues and quality of life around the world. The interactive exhibit challenges youth to re‐think typical assumptions about development by highlighting Canada’s successful experience in helping communities to address the root causes of poverty and to mobilize their own resources to find solutions. Moving beyond charity, students will explore how collective action can raise the standard of living in vulnerable communities around the world. BRIDGESTHATUNITE supports elementary and secondary curriculum in the following areas: Canada and the world; Global citizenship; Democracy, action and participation and World geography, cultures and economies. AKFC has also developed an innovative new teaching resource for use in Grades 5 ‐ 8 Social Studies, Social Sciences and Geography.
