Group Tours

The VHEC mounts two teaching exhibits annually, one in the fall and one in the winter term. Ninety-minute tours consist of a docent-led overview of the exhibit, as well as a workshop or survivor speaker.

We welcome visits from school, community and special interest groups. Our school programs are recommended for students in grades 5 to 12.

Please visit the Current Exhibit page for information about the school program now underway.

Cost:
$100 per group of 30 students, which includes a Teacher’s Guide with pre and post-visit support material. Three days cancellation notice is required, or the full fee may be charged.

Two day-long symposia on the Holocaust are held each May at the University of British Columbia. Over a thousand senior high school students meet with survivor speakers in small group sessions, view films and hear from historians, educators and anti-racism speakers.
