From the organizer:

Back for the first time since COVID! The annual Festival Ceili, co-sponsored with Young Tradition Vermont at Vermont Folklife, is fun for the whole family with Irish step dancing and some fine traditional musicians. Hear fiddles and flutes, Irish pipes and pennywhistles; and the bodhrán, an Irish frame drum. This music features the finale of the Young Tradition Vermont Fiddleheads residency. Area musicians are welcome to bring their instruments and join in for a lively session, led by Yasi Zeichner. Members of the McFadden Academy of Irish Dance will perform and also lead audience participation in ceili dances. 

A celebration for International Women's Day held at the Old North End Community Center in Burlington. Featuring dancing, music, and speeches about women in technology, read in English and Swahili.

From Peace Talks:

This episode focuses on how we can change our approach towards acculturation from an “assimilation” based system to an “integration” based system that respects the cultural heritage and dignity of immigrants entering the United States. We meet with Tamara Parks, who has been a teacher and principal for nearly a decade, and is currently serving as the Director of the Multilingual program through the Essex Westford School District (EWSD). We will be exploring Tamara’s journey as a first generation immigrant to the United States, herself, and how that experience has informed her work in the public education system. We will be discussing a range of peacebuilding topics, such as postcolonialism, multiculturalism, and building peace through inclusive practices that promote equity and understanding across cultures and communities.

Show Guest: Tamara Parks — Educator, Advocate, and Director of the Multilingual Program at the Essex Westford School District
