Abstract

Local Learning is a national network comprising folk culture specialists, folk artists, and educators who have developed Folk Arts in Education (FAIE) programs and resources in a wide variety of educational venues. The organization is dedicated to the belief that "local learning"—the traditional knowledge and processes of learning that are grounded in community life—is of critical importance in education because local knowledge has the potential to transform learning, create stronger communities, and build intercultural understanding. Local Learning supports its associates and educates others through professional development for teachers and artists, participation in public policy as a national arts service organization, ongoing networking, quarterly electronic bulletins, and annual publication of the peer-reviewed, multimedia Journal of Folklore and Education (JFE) found on the Local Learning website, http://www.locallearningnetwork.org/.
