Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Audiences will have an opportunity to participate in the Hmong oral tradition of storytelling. We will know that we've achieved this goal when we reach a total of 200 people who have never or rarely heard a story told by an elder.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Hmong Museum reached 160 audience members in three events most of whom were familiar or somewhat familiar with storytelling. Evaluation methods were through a written survey and anecdotes.
