[Libs-Or] Apply to host a Conversation Project program from Oregon Humanities!

[Annie Dubinsky]

Good topics, good facilitators, good discussions: that¹s what people are
saying about the Conversation Project: A New Chautauqua, which offers Oregon
nonprofit organizations free programs that engage community members in
thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily
lives and our state's future.
 
Between August 1 and September 30, 2010, Oregon nonprofits may apply for
Conversation Project programs that take place between November 1, 2010, and
February 28, 2011. 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 Conversation Project programs currently
happening in counties around the state.
 
The 2010­11 Conversation Project lineup features sixteen programs presented
by fifteen scholar-facilitators. Diverse topics span global and local
concerns‹from Iraq and mega cities to the urban/rural divide, Oregon¹s land
use policies, and alternatives to prisons.
