Face2Face

CIDA's Face2Face exhibit is currently travelling across Canada in the form of posters and life-size cutout figures. You may come across them at special events, airports, universities, and other public spaces.

Each figure is marked with a quick response (QR) code that, when scanned with a smartphone, takes you to videos about people whose lives have been improved thanks to CIDA assistance.

You will meet:

Students from Haiti's School of Music in Cité-Soleil

These youth, whose school had to shut down in the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake, have found renewed hope thanks to this Canadian-backed education project led by the organization CONOCS. In a neighbourhood plagued by insecurity, the project also offers them a path away from violence.
