The people at MSF (Doctors Without Borders) are bringing a free exhibition to the city.  The exhibition is free and interactive.  It is called Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City.  The exhibit asks visitors to imagine what it is like to be a refugee or an internally displaced person (IDP), forced from their home by war or conflict.  

At Parc Jeanne-Mance, they will reconstruct an actual 8000 square foot refugee camp, staffed by field workers from MSF who will guide visitors through a 40-60 minute interactive tour explaining the crucial elements.  We believe this complements studies in world history, world geography, social sciences, politics, and world issues.
