The Stratford Perth Museum, in partnership with the Abraham Global Peace Initiative is pleased to announce that we will be hosting the Power of One Human Rights Museum Exhibit between October 4, 2023 and January 6, 2024. The Abraham Global Peace Initiative is a leading Canadian Human Rights organization comprised of leading global parliamentarians, civil society and religious leaders, law enforcement officials and educators, who recognize the importance of education in shaping a culture of inclusivity, dialogue, and peace, and the role of teachers and classrooms in leadership and learning.

Thank you to our Special Guest Speaker, Dr. Neil Orlowsky.

This is a FREE Drop In event with light refreshments.

Please call 1-519-393-5315 to inquire about the event or reserved seating.

“The Power of One” exhibit is a student centric, thought-provoking exhibit meant to inspire and empower students from kindergarten to grade 12 harness their voice and stand up, speak out, and take action to make the world a better place. Featuring twelve notable figures (like Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Anne Frank, Helen Keller, Mother Teresa, and Malala Yousafzai – among others), the exhibit begins by curating a discussion around the Upstander mindset by introducing audience members to those who have contributed to making the world a better, safer, and more inclusive place all citizens no matter their race or religion, gender, creed, or colour. As students visit the exhibit, the Power of One invites its audience to consider five key questions:

What would you do if you were in the same situation?
What choices would you make?
Would you risk your life to save others?
Would you speak out?
How can you help change the world for the better today?
