ACHF Arts Education
Our weaving instructors will hope to reach at least 120 students over twelve class periods available. The dance classes hope to reach over 500 student participants over 24 class offerings in various Twin Cities Locations. Instructors will record number of student participants in each offering at each location. All student participants will be asked to complete an evaluation form about their experience, and we will compile those responses to understand the value of the student experience.We will ask the direct experience of each participant in any Somali art form before participating in these classes, and also their exposure to Somali culture on a scale before participation. We hope to reach both Somali-Americans who have not been directly taught their own traditional art forms as well as non-Somali Minnesotans who can use this experience to better understand their neighbors.
2 young Somalis who were new to the art of the Somali folk dance permanently join the Somali Museum Dance Troupe.
