What: Vermont Town Schools Project - Learn, Listen, and Share!
The Vermont Town Schools Project is engaging with communities in Addison County and building an interview collection that explores the relationships between towns and their schools. As Vermont's schooling landscape shifts, this project creates a space for everyone's experiences with town schools to be told, recorded, and collected within a larger discussion on communities and education in Vermont.
Join the Vermont Folklife Center's Mary Wesley at the Lincoln Library for a free, two-hour training and story-sharing session.
Learn what's involved in a community-based interviewing project and how the Vermont Folklife Center supports this kind of work.
Listen to and share your own perspectives on the past, present, and future of schooling in Vermont (with the option to have your voice recorded and included in the interview collection)
Find out more about how to be involved in this ongoing project.
With support from the Walter Cerf Community Fund this event is being offered at no cost.
