North Country Public Radio’s Common Wealth, Common Wisdom project is finishing up after an impressive run.

Follow the link above to the project’s great site, which richly documents the work that independent producers Gregory Warner and Laura Starecheski did with a great pool of local talent. Area teens teamed up with elders who lived through the Great Depression to produce a variety of stories about entrepreneurship in difficult times.

NCAT is proud to have played host for this project. A special thanks to NCAT Assistant Director Josephine Skiff and NCPR’s Michael Sauter for all they did to make the project run smoothly.

North Country Public Radio and independent producers Laura Starecheski and Gregory Warner have received a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to undertake an intergenerational media project here in the North Country.

The project is titled “Common Wealth, Common Wisdom.” Local teens will team up with local survivors of the Great Depression to produce multimedia pieces and radio stories about ingenuity in times of hardship.

The Newell Center for Arts Technology is very pleased to play host to this project, which will take place July-August 2009 here on the St. Lawrence campus. Click here for more.
