The Samara Centre for Democracy partnered with the Social Studies Educators Network of Canada/Réseau pour l’enseignment des sciences sociales du Canada (SSENC/RESCC) to create curriculum-connected resources based on our podcast Humans of the House. We offer engaging teaching material related to each episode in the six-part series, which weaves together interviews with a dozen former Members of Parliament. These resources are designed to help educators illuminate the lived experience of Canadian politics in their classrooms.

Then explore all of the extensive resources we have available, including classroom presentations, timestamped transcripts, vocabulary worksheets, listening activities, assignments and more. 

‍Humans of the House is also a valuable resource for university educators teaching in a variety of disciplines. To facilitate incorporating Humans of the House into university curricula, we have drawn together sample assignments for courses connected to Canadian politics and society, civic engagement, democratic processes and institutions and the art of digital storytelling.
