Get on the Bus! Traveling Education Exhibit
New York—Blue Chip Foundation , in partnership with Generation Human Rights, The VII Foundation , and United Photo Industries has launched Get on the Bus!, a traveling education exhibit powered by the lessons learned from the Millennium Villages Project (MVP).
The bus, converted into a traveling exhibition, journeys from school to school across the country, helping high-schoolers connect global issues to local issues and encouraging solution-based thinking. The interactive classroom program requires students to complete one educational module before the bus arrives; sign-up, which is free for educators, includes a complete lesson plan designed to immerse students in the concept of extreme poverty and how it affects communities – both locally and globally.
Designed to engage students through creative learning, the curriculum encourages visual thinking strategies, evidence-based discussions, mapping activities, and storytelling activities, as well as narrative and expository writing.
