Special Projects

 

In addition to ongoing regular programming, Oregon Humanities occasionally offers public lectures, panels, and reading and discussion series in communities around the state. We also work in partnership with other organizations to offer this type of programming.

On Principle

In 2006-07, OCH worked with Oregonians in Astoria, Lincoln City, and Eastern Oregon on a reading and discussion series called On Principle, which focused on five core principles of democracy: individual freedom, equality, economic opportunity, justice, and civic engagement. The program offered citizens the chance to explore important hallmarks of American democracy in a forum where everyone is welcome to participate. On Principle was designed to encourage a variety of viewpoints, active participation, and careful listening. The fall 2006 issue of Oregon Humanities was also address the program’s five core principles.
