Experience type:

In-Person

Program Description

Be buyers for the Museum’s gift shop, “The Global Village.” Consider cultural awareness, fair labour practices, and sustainability in the ever-growing production and consumption of goods and services. Visit the global marketplace and purchase objects that may or may not have been created in a responsible and sustainable way. Explore the Vancouver History Galleries to uncover moments when Vancouverites either demonstrated good global citizenship or ignored their responsibilities.

Big Ideas

Complex global problems require international cooperation to make difficult choices for the future.

Economic self-interest can be a significant cause of conflict among peoples and governments.

Systems of government vary in their respect for human rights and freedoms.
