Human rights education is a lifelong process. Through our variously themed programs, including workshops and tours, we strive to give students the tools to help them think critically and with empathy.

Thanks to the support of The Richardson Foundation and The Asper Foundation, more than 17,500 students visited us virtually this year! We are now fully booked for the remainder of the 2020/2021 school year.
Thanks to all the teachers and students from across Canada who participated in our virtual field trips. We will be offering free virtual programs to Canadian classrooms in the 2021/2022 school year. Bookings can be made starting August 2021. We look forward to seeing you next year!
Our in‐person school programs remain temporarily unavailable. We have adapted some of our school programs for students and teachers learning at home.
We offer a variety of K‑12 school programs onsite at the Museum or virtually from your classroom.
Our programs are designed to be inclusive and accessible for students of all needs and ages. Running between one and two hours, each of our curriculum‐based programs allows students to explore and discuss human rights issues through hands‐on learning and activities.
All of our onsite programs are followed by a visit to galleries and exhibits that reflect their lessons. We also offer tours, which allow students to explore the Museum’s highlights and specific themes.
Programs and tours are offered daily from September to June. For more information, please visit our hours page.
Virtual Field Trips
Bringing the Museum to you, wherever your class is! We offer virtual field trips for students in K‑12. No need to leave home or the classroom to experience the Museum’s architecture and engage in discussion and reflection on human rights.
Self-Guided Tours
We offer engaging and age‐appropriate self‐guided tours for students in grades 5–12. The tours include activities to enrich your students’ experience at the Museum.
Please note that all schools and organized groups must book in advance.
Multiple Groups and Group Sizes
To ensure the safety of staff and groups, we are limiting self‐guided program bookings to a maximum of 25 per group, including adult teachers and chaperones. All students K‑12 and adults will be required to wear masks when visiting the Museum.
If your group is larger, we recommend that you call us to discuss options such as staggered entry and start times.
Virtual field trips
Can't get here in person? Take your class on a virtual field trip! Experience the Museum’s galleries and architecture, and explore human rights with one of our Museum guides. Each tour ends with a visit to the Israel Asper Tower of Hope to see a 360‐degree view of the city of Winnipeg.
