Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

While participating in our arts programs, people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds will build relationships by learning with each other. Engaging in arts together builds bridges that will strengthened our community. Evaluation will occur after each event through a follow-up questionnaire. We will measure the number of participants, their ethnicity and their ages. We will ask participants if they have increased knowledge of other cultures through our activity. We will also have a follow-up meeting with our presenters and teachers for improvement.
