Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Residents learn new arts skills and techniques; residents gain awareness and appreciation for artistic disciplines and mediums; artists build their capacity through professional development. Community dialogue (group conversations with a large group)

Measurable Outcome(s)

Although Language Attitude initially proposed to develop 9 workshops, the continued pandemic forced us to deliver the conference online. As a result, the board decided to reduce the conference time to 5 hours as well as the numbers of performance based workshops to 6. At the end conference, attendees were guided to create poems expressing their engagement and learning. Language Attitude also held a debrief session to determine how to improve the conference (e.g. invite teachers we collaborate with to present, offer a hybrid conference, involve more students).
