Folklorist Retreat



The Foundation sponsors a bi-annual retreat for the region’s folklorists. This gathering gives academic, public sector and independent folklorists the opportunity to meet in an informal setting to network, share information about programs, and explore potential collaborations and partnerships. It is also an opportunity to share best practices, learn new skills, and gain exposure to new theoretical models. The location varies from year to year.

The 2006 Mid Atlantic Folklorists Retreat, was held June 15-18 at the Virden Retreat Center, Lewes, Delaware. This year's sessions included a video workshop with acclaimed filmmaker/documentarian Barry Dornfeld, a podcast overview session with Larry Swaider of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, and special guest speaker Charles Rosenberg of UNESCO.
