Host a workshop!

Hands On Heritage is now in its second year of activities. We have fun exploring our local heritage from Multicultural perspectives.

Here are some of the workshops conducted so far:

Ibn al Haytham, Medieval Egypt & the Science of Light

Abbas Ibn Firnas: Aviation pioneer in Medieval Spain

American Sign Language for kids

Introduction to Chinese & Muslims in China


Special Charity Entrepeneurs Day Camp:

Campers had great fun creating social awareness by producing a radio show, making gifts for their neighbours, scrapbooking, and inventing products for charity fundraisers.

If your school or community group is interested in hosting any of our elementary level heritage programs, from a faith-based or non-denominational approach, give us a shout at HandsOnHeritage@Gmail.com
