Program overview
Traditional culture study combined with community based learning, covering oral tradition, material culture and fieldwork method, with placement in heritage, museum or cultural organisations.
Pairing folklore with community placement is unusually well matched on this island, where Gaelic, Mi’kmaq and Acadian traditions are actively maintained by community organisations that genuinely need documentation and programming help, so student placements produce real cultural work rather than observation.
