Our children’s experience is part of Developing Respectful Citizens for a Diverse Country, a collaborative project with Kohl Children’s Museum and Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum, funded by the Lilly Foundation.
Each museum explores respect and gratitude from a different perspective: the child, the community, and the world. Together, the three experiences show how these values can begin within a child, grow through a community, and extend to the world around us.
Our experience focuses on the community, showing how sharing, perseverance, play, and celebration can strengthen our connections with one another.
This experience focuses on the child, helping children appreciate differences, develop empathy, and practice kindness and respect in their everyday lives.
This experience focuses on the world, inviting children to appreciate the gifts of nature and explore gratitude, respect, and reciprocity through Indigenous perspectives.
