For
over 30 years, the North Carolina Humanities Council has supported
free public humanities programs that address fundamental questions
about who we are as human beings and how we live in the world.
The Humanities Council seeks to answer the question:
How can we preserve our distinctive differences and still share
common ideals and values?
By helping to sustain projects
ranging from dramatizations about the lives of migrant farm
workers to institutes and seminars for public school teachers,
the Council gives North Carolinians opportunities to
share and understand the state's cultural diversity.
Since 1972, the Council has brought more than $13 million to North Carolina communities
in all 100 counties. Every dollar has been matched by the
citizens of North Carolina, mostly through in-kind contributions
of time and energy.
The Council's unique programs
reach out to North Carolinians across the state to offer educational
opportunities that are local, civic, and participatory. The Council has promoted this weaving together of cultures and
communities through a carefully created vision that has evolved
over three decades. |
