Program Description

A Joint Program in Offered by the Museum of Vancouver and Château d’If, from Grade 6 to Secondary Classes

The Museum of Vancouver and the Château d’If in France collaborate through a joint school program titled D’un continent à l’autre : l’humain et la nature. It is recommended from grade 6 to secondary.

The program consists of an educational activity centered around an immersive 360° guided remote visit of Château d'If and an activity involving modules from the exhibition That Which Sustains Us at the Museum of Vancouver. Through exploring the topics of biodiversity, climate change, and water pollution from human activities at both sites, students will be asked to compare how geographical locations and culture have influenced human choices in both ecosystems and discover solutions for a more sustainable future. The program’s mission is to raise awareness among future generations about environmental protection and the conservation of natural resources, as well as the challenges posed by current urban management.
