Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Program will be an educational & entertaining exploration of the area's cultural heritage in celebration of Sytende Mai. Hope to bring young, old, and other cultures in the area a better understanding of the cultural makeup of Milan and surrounding area.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Word of mouth reports stated this was a very enjoyable day for both young and old of all cultural backgrounds. Anecdotal responses include: 'I learned a lot about the culture and tradition of Arctic Norway ~ something I knew nothing of previously,' 'I learned about the strong connection between man and nature in native cultures,' This was a good introduction to Sami culture and a very entertaining way of storytelling.'
