Regional history and art
Places as inspiration.
Collaborations between teachers and regional artists or authors.
Nature as a tool for teaching analytical/scientific thinking, descriptive writing, etc.
Your ideas are needed! Proposals for workshops and field experiences will be accepted until March 15.
