The Conversation ProjectThe Conversation Project: A New Chautauqua offers Oregon nonprofits free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future. Conversations are facilitated by some of Oregon's most respected humanities scholars. Conversation Project Kicks Off in NovemberThe Conversation Project: A New Chautauqua—which offers free community discussions on topics such as friendship, the future of rural communities, media literacy, and the prison system—officially begins on November 5, 2009, at Newport Public Library with Geoffrey Hiller’s program “Life in a Mega City: Images of Urban Bangladesh.” Over the next four months, thirty programs follow in fourteen counties across the state. For a complete schedule, visit the Oregon Humanities calendar. Conversation Project programs provide a wonderful opportunity for community members to learn about and discussion compelling topics that shape our daily lives. We hope you’ll join us this fall and winter at a program near you.
