So Much Together: Singing Our Traditions to Life: Music, Memory, and Migration

We all have a particular lineage, a continuing story connecting us across centuries to ancestors, land, and traditions. But what does it really mean to be from a place, from a heritage? In this So Much Together workshop, we'll deepen our sense of cultural heritage and/or identity, while engaging in thoughtful dialogue about how these might impact our roles and responsibilities as residents of our current communities. 

12:30 to 3:00 p.m., Shaw Historical Library, Klamath Falls

Facilitation Training for Libraries

Oregon Humanities will present two trainings in 2024 for staff, board members, volunteers, and program partners of Oregon libraries. These trainings will help people involved with libraries strengthen their skills in leading conversations about vital issues and ideas across differences, beliefs, and backgrounds. With the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence as a jumping off point, participants will learn about facilitation and reflective conversation, practice new skills and techniques, and learn to design and facilitate conversations that allow people and groups to learn more about themselves and each other.

This training will take place at Newport Public Library over the following days:

• Day 1: Thursday, April 11, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
• Day 2: Friday, April 12, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
