Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Kairos Alive! will expand three highly successful Community Arts and Wellbeing™ projects in outstate Minnesota Communities. Expand Bemidji, McGregor/Aitkin/Duluth and Winona projects with pre/post evaluations from participants, with 2+ Dancing Heart™, 6+ Intergenerational Dance Hall™ events, and Moving Well™ trainings. 2: Kairos Alive! will strengthen current programs through the development of new intergenerational partnerships for community wellbeing in urban, suburban and rural Minnesota. Success is measured by an increase of new partners, participants and positive qualitative feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We expanded Community Arts and Wellbeing projects in Duluth and Winona, providing participatory dance, music and story for all-ages community. Head counts, artist reflections and participant surveys tracked attendance, and participants perceived learning, growth and change as a result. 2: Diverse intergenerational community enjoyed participatory arts experiences through expanded partnerships in urban, suburban and rural Minnesota. We had new partners in both urban, suburban and rural MN. Positive qualitative feedback on KA surveys confirmed enjoyment of participation because of relevance and accessibility of experiences.
