This fall, Linda will be working with colleagues in Riga, Latvia, as a Fulbright Scholar, affiliated with the Latvian Academy of Culture.  She’ll be teaching graduate courses, participating in other projects, and also developing workshops for museum/heritage colleagues in Riga and throughout the country.

The Heritage CIRCLE project brings together eleven institutions throughout Europe to advance constructive and ethical approaches to discussing, interpreting, presenting, and reusing Europe’s dissonant and contentious heritage.  Creative Futures will be facilitating conversations with the core team and creating a Careful Dialogue guide.

Stacey and Linda facilitated a lively two-day workshop Climate, Heritage, and Policy: Dialogues in Learning at Linneaus University in Kalmar, Sweden. The workshop used a framework of learning and dialogue to begin a body of practice that integrates across fields of climate change, archaeology and heritage, and governance and science-policy translation.

This spring, Braden and Linda facilitated faculty and student training in advance, observed, and provided follow-up recommendations for  the Troutbeck Symposium, a regional educational program where middle and high school students uncover the histories of their own communities through archival research, oral history, and creative storytelling
