Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s
“To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains,
but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others,”
project ARC uses music, dance and theatrics to educate its audience about the
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
To get the best project ARC experience for your students, we recommend adding a follow-up
Stomp Out/Reach Out workshop to your day!

Through project ARC, the following curriculum outcomes are addressed and encouraged:
examining selected examples of human rights issues around the world
taking age-appropriate action to practice responsible citizenship
identifying and taking action to promote positive interactions between people
interacting with sensitivity and respect, considering the situation, audience, and purpose
questioning assumptions and imagining, understanding and appreciating realities other than one’s own
exploring how pressures to conform can emerge and affect an individual
valuing the arts as a record of human experience and expression
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE FREE, BUT TO REALLY BE FREE,
WE HAVE TO CHOOSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY!
WE HAVE TO CHOOSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY!

project ARC does not accept payment for our show.
Instead, schools donate a minimum of $200 to one or more of our chosen charitable organizations
as a show of support for our message of responsible citizenship.
To date, project ARC has spARCed schools to give over $31,000 in donations to Doctors Without Borders,
First Nations Child and Caring Society, Free the Children, Hope for Wildlife, Right To Play, Ecology Action Centre,
Phoenix Youth, Shelter NS and more .

"The fact that your group only wants a donation to charity is wonderful and also a good example
and a chance to talk about different charities and what our kids can do."
