ICYMI: Poetry As A Tool in Extension Programs

 

Last week, we were fortunate to host Dr. Hiram Larew, an award-winning poet, advocate, and leader in the Arts and Poetry community, and David Myers, an Ag Extension Agent at the University of Maryland Extension for a wonderful webinar!

The purpose of their presentation was to demonstrate how poetry is being used to help deliver messages about an important agricultural issue, namely local and global hunger.   They used hunger as an example to illustrate how poetry can be used when discussing a variety of Extension topics to capture the attention of students in classrooms, workshops attendees, and other audiences. 

A copy of the recording is available here. Dr. Larew and Mr. Myers were also kind to provide a copy of their powerpoint presentation to share. That is attached to this post.
