Observing the traditions and traditional art forms around us, we learn why and how informal local learning underpins our lives and the knowledge and skills that we acquire in classrooms and formal academic settings. By interviewing family and community members to document their stories, songs, crafts, and skills, we encounter deep local learning, which we can record and share in many ways.
The rich content of folk arts inspires many types of student projects. Download our Virtual Lesson Outline for Interviews available in the sidebar, where students identify people they can interview at home, or by phone and video call!
