Turning assumptions into answers in international development Canadians are proud of our strong history in international diplomacy. Few are aware, however, of the steadfast role that Canada has played in some of the world’s most isolated and impoverished regions, where it has made a long-term investment in the alleviation of poverty, and the creation of strong democratic institutions.A traveling, interactive exhibition, BRIDGESTHATUNITE is a bridge to the past, illustrating the many ways in which Canada, in partnership with the Aga Khan Development Network, has been innovative and bold in its search for solutions to some of the world’s most critical issues. More importantly, it’s also a bridge to the future and to the next 25 years and what they may hold for Canada and its role in the world of international development.Through the interplay of audio, video, text panels, bold graphics and interactive components, BRIDGESTHATUNITE challenges visitors to confront typical assumptions about what international development is and what it can achieve. Ultimately, the exhibition asks more questions than it answers: Why invest in a university in a country struggling to provide even primary education? Why restore a 16th century garden in war-ravaged Kabul, Afghanistan? Does this past suggest how Canada could lead in the future?Join a guide or take a self-guided tour and travel this multi-sensory exhibition. For more information visit http://www.bridgesthatunite.ca.
