FORCED FROM HOME PRIVATE TOURS

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26
6:56 PM and 7:04 PM
Richard J. Daley Center
50 W Washington St
Chicago, IL

Join us for special guided tours of Forced From Home Doctors Without Borders’ interactive, behind the headlines exhibit that’s coming to Chicago’s Daley Plaza Sept 23-30.  Hyde Park Refugee Project has reserved space for two private guided tours on Wednesday, September 26 for HPRP volunteers and supporters. The tours begin promptly at 6:56 p.m. and 7:04 p.m., respectively and last approximately one hour.

Guided by experienced Doctors Without Borders aid workers, you’ll travel through a 10,000-square-foot space designed to convey the challenges facing a person forced to flee. You’ll also learn about the humanitarian aid Doctors WIthout Borders provides along the way.  Visitors experience virtual reality and 360˚ video, and interact with materials gathered from refugee camps, sea rescue missions, and emergency medical projects around the world.

FORCED FROM HOME tours are free, fully accessible, and take roughly one hour to complete. If you can’t join us on Wednesday, you can catch the exhibit any time during its run. Families are welcome, however the content is best suited to children ages 12+.

Registration is required. Please arrive by 6:50 p.m. and you will be placed in groups on a first-come, first-serve basis.
