Self-Guided walking tours
It is important to try to learn a fuller history of the land upon which we work and live. The land has much to teach us, if we learn to listen and see in a different way. For that reason, Upstander Project is focusing some of our research on the creation of walking tours to deepen our learning of history within a specific geographical place. On occasion, we offer guided walking tours, especially for educators, students, and people of faith. In an effort to more broadly disseminate our research and make this learning and unlearning available to all, we create StoryMaps, educational videos, and other resources. As these materials become ready to share, we will add them here! Use them on your own or with a trusted group as you build your upstander skills.
