The ArtsLink Project is funded through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada to promote awareness and public education of the personal history and legacy of individual former students of the residential schools in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia. It seeks to address both the truth‐telling and reconciliation fostering components of the TRC's mandate.
ArtsLink is a showcase to promote the art work and cultural practices of residential school survivors.
The ArtsLink website shares the wisdom, the stories and insights of residential school survivors from the Western Provinces who have reclaimed their identity and pride through art and culture. Each webpage includes a biography, a short video interview with the artist, samples of art work and documents, innovative arts and learning practices, and community arts projects.
Arts Link also provides an accessible, safe forum for discussion and expression of the residential school experience. Everyone is invited to share, participate and elaborate on the subject matter of Arts Link in order to refine the process of healing so that they can grow and change with insight and discovery.
Art bridges age, language, culture, economics, and promotes understanding by its transformative power. ArtsLink allows artists and website visitors to 'link' up in the educative process. Just as the artists have reconnected with their own inner creative selves and transformed their lives, by showcasing their artwork and sharing their amazing stories, other Canadians will be able to connect to the artistic journey and healing process too.

Sign up for a 45 minute virtual field trip, and follow it up with a classroom unit about human rights and being an upstander. The classroom unit includes an inquiry project.
Virtual Field Trip: Students will learn how to be human rights upstanders by discovering the stories of people who used their personal strengths to take a stand to protect their rights and the rights of others, creating change.
Students will: 1. Learn to identify traits all upstanders possess and understand that each of us also possess these traits in our own unique way. 2. Experience exhibits and the inspiring Museum architecture as if they were at the Museum in person. Interact with a Museum guide and ask questions to better understand how they can take action for positive change. 3. Engage in discussion, critical thinking and reflection on their role in the protection of their own rights and the rights of others.
Classroom Unit: The Be an Upstander resource is a project-based learning unit designed to complement the “Be an Upstander” school program. This resource targets students in middle years and encourages inquiry and action on human rights issues. Students will examine the traits of human rights upstanders and follow their example. By the end of the project, students will have had the opportunity to explore an issue they are personally passionate about, share their knowledge and lead others toward action.
The Be an Upstander website is a digital student experience designed to support student learning as part of a larger human rights themed, project-based learning unit. Students developing upstander projects will engage in personal inquiry and action on human rights issues that matter to them. Students will learn about the traits of human rights upstanders, be introduced to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and examine their personal strengths. Following the example of the upstanders they learn about, students will be challenged to take tangible steps to becoming human rights upstanders themselves.

This resource encourages students to deepen their understanding of global poverty—to see our connections to the rest of the world, to explore the roots of inequities and to understand the importance of assistance that preserves human dignity, values diversity and unleashes the inherent power of community.
Experience has shown that successful development is possible—if initiatives invest in people and ensure that beneficiaries over time become the owners of the development process. This means addressing the intertwined causes of poverty and helping communities mobilize their resources so that they can help themselves. ultimately, it means providing a hand up instead of a handout. The stories contained in this resource draw on the long-term experience of Canada and Canadians in the developing world, and encourage students to see themselves as part of the bridge of hope that unites us as global citizens.
Tips for using this resource: The lessons in this resource have been created as a unit that builds foundational understanding and encourages exploration of key concepts and critical global issues to allow for deeper learning and meaningful attitudinal change. While we recommend that the lessons be used together, each set of lesson activities can also stand alone to provide learning opportunities around a particular aspect of international development. The term “lesson” does not imply that it can be completed within one class. Class periods vary with timetables, and experience in co-operative learning, language levels and group dynamics can all affect the time needed to complete these activities. The teacher is the best judge of these factors.
Curriculum Connections: The themes and concepts presented provide excellent links to Ministry of Education curricular objectives/ expectations in Social Science, history and Geography programs across the country. activities also maximize a variety of specific skill-based objectives/expectations and competencies such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication, social skills and map analysis. Each lesson outlines general objectives/expectations to assist teachers in program planning. The activities can easily be adjusted for grade and level by providing varying degrees of support, allowing additional time and adjusting expected outcomes.
