[Libs-Or] Oregon Humanities invites nonprofits to host Conversation Project programs

[Annie Dubinsky]

Through the Conversation Project: A New Chautauqua, nonprofit organizations
around the state have access to free programs that engage community members
in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily
lives and our state's future.
 
>From April 1 through May 31, 2010, Oregon nonprofits may apply for programs
that take place between July 1 and October 31, 2010. The Conversation
Project, which connects Oregonians with public scholars and provocative
ideas through idea-driven dialogue, is a program of Oregon Humanities
(formerly Oregon Council for the Humanities).
 
The catalog, instructions for host organizations, and downloadable
application form are available at oregonhumanities.org. Please also see the
website¹s events calendar for the sixty-one Conversation Project programs
that are currently happening in nineteen counties around the state.
 
The 2009­10 Conversation Project lineup features seventeen programs
presented by sixteen scholar-facilitators. This season¹s programs span
diverse topics, including friendship, mega cities, the future of rural
communities, media literacy, and reenvisioning the prison system.
 
For more information about the Conversation Project program and how to
apply, please contact Oregon Humanities Program Coordinator Annie Dubinsky

Oregon Humanities connects Oregonians to ideas that transform communities.
