Distance Learning Pilot Program is ramping up

We completed our second of two training sessions earlier this month. Participants flew into Minneapolis from New York, New Orleans and San Antonio for training at The Cowles Center where we set up and tested the distance learning equipment. It was a great opportunity to meet people and share our mission and programs. We came together, worked hard and shared information on how to get each organization started as well as getting a chance to play too.  We had a lot of fun. It’s amazing what this telepresence technology tool will do to connect in real time all of these dynamic organizations giving us all the opportunity to explore and collaborate. We can’t wait to get set up and connected. A big “thanks” and recognition to the Ford Foundation who funded this program.

Participating organizations are: Ashe Cultural Center in New Orleans, First Peoples Fund in Rapid City, CultureHub (A SeoulArts/La MaMa project) in New York, NALAC-National Association of Latino Arts & Culture in San Antonio, PA’I in Honlulu, Pregones Theater in The Bronx, and Youth Speaks in San Francisco.
