Last week, board and staff from PA Humanities headed to Providence, RI for the National Humanities Conference. This annual event brings together representatives from colleges, universities, state humanities councils, cultural institutions, and other community-based organizations to explore approaches to deepening the public’s engagement with the humanities.
We led many powerful sessions:
-Rediscovering the Humanities: A Journey Through Our Lived Experiences
-Deeper than DEI: How Project Ready is Making Ripples in Library Culture
-Beyond the Dollar: Supporting Grantee Learning & Growth
-Council Board Chair/Member Conversation Constituent Group
-Community Advisory Committees: The Power of Co-Creating Meaningful Humanities Programs
-Breakfast Roundtable Discussion - PA Humanities Discovery Project
-Sharing Stories and Listening to One Another: A 250th Convening
It was an honor to participate again this year, sharing about all our impactful work in Pennsylvania, from our PA Humanities Discovery Project to our DEI initiatives to our people-centered approach to grantmaking. We were also excited to have our Rain Poetry project nominated for a Schwartz Prize, which recognizes exceptional humanities programs across the country.
Thank you to @humfed and @humanitiesall for organizing this event.
