About this Event
Virtual Event
“To build a more equitable and inclusive world, learners of all ages must purposefully develop the skills to recognize one another’s humanity while learning more about themselves and their communities.” Join our conversation with Lisa Rathje, director of the nationally acclaimed education network Local Learning, to learn about their approach to discovery, inquiry, and research. Their work connects folklorists, artists, and educators across the nation and advocates for transformative life-long learning. Through the inclusion of folklife and traditional arts in education, they believe we can create intercultural understanding and build stronger communities.
