On campus exhibit allows you to step into the shoes of a refugee

The free public exhibition opened Thursday in Schenley Plaza

There is a new – and free – exhibit on campus that is here until Monday.

Forced From Home is an interesting, hands-on exhibit going on right now in Schenley Plaza.

Visitors have the opportunity to putĀ themselves in the shoes of the millions of displaced people in the world looking for somewhere they are allowed to call home.

This exhibit focuses on five main regions that are facing social and ethnic tension right now. The display includes interactive activities teaching visitors about the struggles faced by people in Syria, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Burundi and Honduras.

Forced From Home is a traveling exhibit that leaves on October 31 so experience it right on Pitt’s campus while you can. Presented by the Doctors Without Borders organization, it opened here Thursday before heading to its next stops in DC, New York and Boston.

Plan your visit here.
