The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $170,670 Project Grant to the Virginia Museum of History and Culture (VMHC) to provide educational workshops for K-12 educators across the country. The grant, under the NEH's Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163), will support a series of workshops that allow educators to visit historical sites and landmarks in Virginia, learn teaching strategies, and analyze primary source documents related to Virginia's role in the American Revolution. The workshops will prepare educators to effectively teach about the American Revolution in the years leading up to the 250th anniversary. Educators will have access to VMHC's collections and a special exhibition, "Give Me Liberty: Virginia and the Forging of a Nation," which serves as the official state exhibition for Virginia's 250th anniversary efforts. The grant award period runs from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025.
