New Hampshire Humanities Council

Humanities to go brings neighbors together for learning and thoughtful conversation while connecting nh residents to our state's rich historical and cultural resources. The Humanities to go speakers' bureau includes different high-quality lectures and living history presentations by different nh scholars. This deceptively simple program offers a lifeline to cash-strapped local organizations that could not afford to create or pay for such programs on their own.

Connections serves a vital role for resource-strapped literacy programs, bringing a literature based approach that enhances reading and writing skills, builds capacity to think critically, stimulates discussion, broadens perspectives and instills confidence. Connections promotes adult literacy in nh by bringing facilitated book discussion series to adult learning centers in various locations across the state each year. The program also provides professional development for facilitators, teachers and tutors with workshops, online resources and modeling of instructional methods.

Community project grants enable New Hampshire nonprofit organizations to design and carry out public Humanities programs with the help of experts in philosophy, history, literature and other Humanities disciplines relevant to their topic. From dynamic lectures and facilitated discussions, to walking tours, oral history workshops and teacher professional development seminars, these programs create opportunities for participants to explore New knowledge and discuss universal questions.

Special projects: each year the Humanities Council conducts special projects and partners with local non-profits and engages to carry on unique humanmities programming. Other projects include Humanities Council american rescue plan program.
