Vermont Folklife builds programs around community concerns and our partners’ expertise. We root our work with educators, students, traditional artists and musicians, researchers, and non-profit professionals in the process of collaborative ethnographic inquiry, seeking to understand experience from the perspective of the people to whom an experience belongs.
In particular, AFTMD partners with Young Tradition Vermont and the Fiddleheads program. These programs use traditional music and dance to ensure young people have opportunities to be inspired and inspiring, to learn and teach, to perform, and to serve the communities they live in and visit. Learn more about these programs and many others on their website.
