Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Over 600 Northern Minnesota residents will experience the rich culture of India by traveling no further than their local library. We will count attendance at each show. Each performance is followed by an informal discussion with, and written feedback from, the audience which will let us evaluate attendees’ experience.
Measurable Outcome(s)
People reported they learned about Indian songs, musical instruments, vocabulary, and stories about culture and animals during shows at their library. Paper evaluations were handed out at each performance that contained 1) open ended questions; 2) statements that people were asked to say how much they agreed with (e.g. This program was interesting and/ or thought provoking.); and 3) asked how they heard about the program. The libraries each tracked attendance and reported that number to COMPAS.
