Freedom and Unity: The Vermont Movie And Discussion Series
Part Four: Doers and Shapers

Viewers need not have seen any others in this series to thoroughly enjoy any one or more. Part Four explores how Vermonters push boundaries. Starting with education, you take an engrossing journey through the philosophy of John Dewey, leading to the hands-on style of Goddard College, the Putney School, and the inseparable connection between education and democracy. You explore other progressive movements: Vermont’s famous Billboard law and Act 250, cultural movements such as Bread and Puppet Theater, and Vermont’s groundbreaking civil union law.

Please join us in our quest to answer: What is it about Vermont that makes it so special? with Linda Bland facilitating. The conversation will be lively and thought provoking.

This event takes place at the Varnum Memorial Library, 194 Main Street, Jeffersonville
When: Saturday January 3 from 3-5:00 p.m.

A VT Humanities Council Program hosted by the VML and the CCLA.

Free and all are welcome, light refreshments.
