The California Mobile Museum of Tolerance (MMOT) will be coming to Piedmont schools March 3-7.
The Mobile Museum of Tolerance, an initiative of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, is a state-of-the-art traveling museum dedicated to promoting human rights, diversity, and respect. Through interactive and engaging workshops, MMOT challenges participants to confront issues such as intolerance, hate, and discrimination, empowering them to be upstanders in their communities.
This is a big opportunity for our students, our community and our neighbors in Oakland, Berkeley and beyond to experience firsthand the impactful work the MMOT is doing to educate and inspire students throughout California. Piedmont middle and high school students will have scheduled visits on the bus while school is in session and we are excited to share that Monday – Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., greater community members will have the opportunity to experience the powerful workshops as well.
Bringing the MMOT to schools is a crucial step in fostering dialogue and understanding among young people. Your presence would underscore the importance of this mission and demonstrate a shared commitment to educating future generations on the values of inclusivity and respect.
We would be honored if you could join us to experience the museum firsthand and witness the impact it has on students. There will be two different modules available: The Power of Ordinary People and Fact or Fiction.
