History + Art = Peace
2026-27 History + Art = Peace (HAP) Brochure!.png

World War II was a massive, interconnected global conflict. History + Art = Peace (HAP) invites students to explore the profound events in Asia (1931–1945) that reshaped the modern world.

​

Focused on the often-overlooked events of the war in East and Southeast Asia, this interdisciplinary program guides students through a deep exploration of wartime civilian experiences, historical empathy, and systemic power dynamics. 

​

Through experiential museum-based learning, students will actively engage with historical memory and its connections to modern peacebuilding.

2024-2025 HAP - A Project funded by the Government of Canada

HISTORY + ART = PEACE 2024-25 is supported by the Multicultural Anti-Racism Project funding by the Government of Canada. It is designed to address hate motivated information, activities, behaviour on social media, in schools, and public spaces that target young people. Prejudiced behaviours and practices have far-reaching consequences, both personal and societal. By synthesizing school and community learning, HAP builds a sense of commitment among our youth through critical inquiry of WWII in Asia and identifying historical patterns in today's social justice issues. In using youth art activism and voice, HAP public exhibition - Spark, Imagine, Peace - will inspire dialogue and reflection of personal and shared Canadian values to combat and prevent hate victimization.
