YOU'RE INVITED!
VERMONT TOWN SCHOOLS PROJECT LISTENING PARTY
Explore & learn by listening to four individuals' stories.
What is the relationship between a town and its school?
Join us for a group listening party to hear four short audio stories featuring the voices of Addison County residents who responded to this question as part of the "Vermont Town Schools Project." A discussion of the Project and how the audio-stories were produced will follow the listening session. All are welcome!
Facilitated by the Vermont Folklife Center (VFC), the Town Schools Project is an effort to create a community-led oral history collection that explores the relationship between small towns and their schools in Addison County. As Vermont's schooling landscape shifts, this project creates a space for people's stories and experiences with town schools to be told, recorded, shared, and saved for posterity.
The four audio-stories you'll hear were created as part of the VFC's Summer Institute: an educational opportunity providing training in community-based research and interviewing. Come and listen to these unique perspectives on towns and their schools, then learn how to add your own voice to the Collection.
