Description: Local Learning began as the National Task Force for Folk Arts in Education during a 1993 national roundtable at the National Endowment for the Arts. Today, it is a loose network of hundreds of people interested in engaging young people with their own traditional culture and with the local culture and folklore of their families, regions, and the larger world. Local Learning is an organization comprising folk cultural specialists, folk artists, and educators, who have developed Folk Arts in Education (FAIE) programs in a wide variety of educational venues.
