Co-Funded Projects
Twin Cities PBS Legacy funded content will include co-funded Legacy projects that leverage Legacy funding through partnerships and collaborations. TPT will work with co-funding partners to develop, produce, and deliver digital and broadcast programming that lifts arts, cultural, and history initiatives throughout our Minnesota communities. This work will also include robust marketing and social media content, events, and screenings. In support of co-funded project educational outreach efforts, the TPT Learn team will produce educational resources, online media and content, discussion guides, activities and programming based on the co-funded partnership production content. TPT will also collaborate with subject matter experts and community partners to craft culturally responsive initiatives aimed at enriching educators' instructional approaches. Activation will include virtual and in-person professional development workshops, screenings with expert panels, and other events that welcome all Minnesotans interested in using public media to teach, guide, learn and grow.
