Description

Join us in the Kinni Theater, this presentation will share projects UWRF students from different majors worked on collaboratively in the CERS China Internship Program including: teaching Tibetans how to make cheese from Yak milk; documenting a Tibetan master potter with a 2000-year tradition for pottery in his village; setting up a living museum for the Lisu tribe; and collecting, cataloguing and storing over 200 artifacts from the last Li village (the original people) on Hainan Island as they are moved into concrete/cement houses, abandoning their traditional thatched homes. Independent research projects completed in Semester Abroad–Europe will include: photo documentation of traditional occupations on Orkney, Organic Farming in Portugal, Survey on the New Parliament Proposal in Great Britain, Karst (Cave) Research in Slovenia, and many more.
