Sparking Humanities Conversations was a three-year project connecting families to engaging cultural heritage themes. This project was made possible through a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and support from the Entrada Institute and Wayne County USU Extension.
Although the initial funding for the project ended in 2021, the project continues through the Entrada Institute’s Classic Conversations project.
