Could your local school benefit from a visit from the Tour for Humanity?
This week, educators from the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center brought their mobile classroom to Guelph, sharing powerful lessons on Holocaust education, human rights, and Canadian hate crimes with students at Centennial CVI. The Toronto-based non-profit has been traveling across the country, fostering awareness and sparking meaningful conversations in schools and communities.
“The Tour for Humanity is a mobile classroom,” explained Daniella Lurion, director of the initiative. “It travels across Canada to different schools and communities.”
Since launching in 2013, the Tour for Humanity has reached over 1,200 schools across eight provinces using two specially designed buses. Unlike a traditional field trip, this experience comes directly to the students—parking on school grounds and welcoming up to 30 participants at a time to engage in immersive workshops.
With plans to return to Guelph in the fall, the program continues its mission of educating young Canadians about history, tolerance, and the fight against hate—one stop at a time.
