SUMMARY:Ely – Iron Range: Minnesota Building America Film Screening with Pam Brunfelt
DESCRIPTION:Join the Minnesota Humanities Center for a special screening of the Emmy Award-winning documentary Iron Range: Minnesota Building America at the Ely’s Historic State Theater. \nMinnesota’s Iron Range has played an extraordinary role in shaping the state and the nation. Just 10 miles wide and 100 miles long\, this region supplied the iron ore\, labor\, and human stories that helped build modern America. \nThe documentary grew out of an immersive Minnesota Humanities Center education program led in part by Iron Range historian\, scholar\, and educator Pam Brunfelt. Offered over two years\, the weeklong program brought 80 teachers from across the country to the Range for intensive study and discussion of the region’s history\, its people\, and its contributions to American history. Teachers returned to their classrooms with new knowledge and resources for incorporating the story of the Iron Range into their American history curriculum. \nThat experience helped inspire Iron Range | Minnesota Building America\, produced by the Minnesota Humanities Center in partnership with Twin Cities Public Television. The film explores the people and forces that shaped the Range and considers the region’s enduring place in Minnesota and American history. \nFollowing the screening\, join us for a conversation with Pam Brunfelt\, who appears in the documentary. Together\, we will reflect on the stories and history featured in the film\, the experience that helped inspire its creation\, and the remarkable role the Iron Range has played in shaping Minnesota and the nation. \nRegistration\nThis event is free\, however registration is required. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org  \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Edina - Objects of War: A Storytelling Circle of Service\, Memory\, & Community
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Humanities Center invites you to an afternoon of conversation\, reflection\, and storytelling. As part of Many Fronts | Veterans & Community Voices\, Objects of War brings together Veterans\, military families\, and community members to share personal stories that deepen understanding of military service\, sacrifice\, resilience\, and the lasting human impacts of war. \nParticipants are invited to bring an object connected to military service or the experience of war – a set of dog tags\, a medal\, a photograph\, a letter\, a keepsake\, or another meaningful item – and share the story behind it. \nGuided by trained Story Circle facilitators\, participants will listen\, reflect\, and discover how personal stories preserve community memory\, foster empathy\, and create meaningful connections across generations and experiences. Whether you served\, supported someone who served\, or carry a family story shaped by military service\, your perspective is welcome. \nOctober is Veterans’ Voices Month in Minnesota\, and MHC is focused on honoring service\, lived experiences\, and the preservation of Veterans’ personal stories through reflection and intergenerational conversations. This Objects of War story circle event will emphasize the people who are gathered with their meaningful artifacts\, and the stories they will share. As we recognize the 250th anniversary of America\, MHC – along with humanities councils across the nation – is hosting programs and events like these story circle experiences to empower Americans to take steps toward a more perfect union. \nRegistration\nThis event is free\, however registration with Edina Parks & Recreation is required. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org  \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Save the Date! 2027 Project Citizen Showcase
DESCRIPTION:What happens when students investigate issues in their communities\, research public policy solutions\, and present their ideas to decision-makers? \nJoin us for the 2027 Project Citizen Student Showcase\, where student teams from across Minnesota will share their civic engagement projects with educators\, community members\, and judges. This event will highlight the research\, creativity\, and civic leadership of young people learning how to engage in democracy by becoming active leaders in defining and implementing democratic public policy. \nMore details about participation and registration will be shared in the coming months. \nLearn more about Project Citizen and upcoming opportunities on the Minnesota Center for Civic Education program page.
