Confirmed
We are excited to announce the work will be doing with parishes in Wisconsin to create Confirmed. Confirmed will document young adult stories of elderly parishioners. Confirmed will include pictures of the participants from then and now, and will serve to document and preserve the pictures and stories for historical purpose.
Teacher Programs
Teachers
can expect workshops to focus on facilitating students' learning in active, learner-centered,
community-focused classrooms. Participants select strategies, programs,
and approaches that meet the individual needs of their students.
These activities allow teachers to create classroom environments where
students surpass minimum standards and become enthusiastic partners in
their own learning.

Harvest Time: Reaping Farmers' Stories
Harvest Time connects writers, visual artists, and musicians with elderly farmers. Farmers tell their stories while artists record the tales using various forms of media. As a farmer talks about his or her life participants create a rendering of the story either through writing, visual art, or music. The work created from each of the sessions will be published in newsletters of special interest or taken for publication elsewhere, to allow these farmers’ rich histories and memories to be shared and recorded for future generations.

Harvest Time: Reaping Farmers' Stories
In
order to protect and record Wisconsin’s rich agricultural history, it
is important to listen to the stories of farmers who have worked the
land for several decades. These farmers have tales of woe, feast,
famine, triumph, adversity, and friendship that must be documented to
help preserve that heritage. It’s also important to visualize how the
craft of farming has changed over time, along with how it remains
somewhat the same.
