The Vermont Movie: Part 4 Vermont Doers and Shapers

Location: Cavendish Historical Society Museum

Cost: Free

FMI: margoc@tds.net or 802-226-7807

Screening begins at 2 pm. Part Four explores the people and institutions that push boundaries. Starting with education, we take an engrossing journey through the philosophy of John Dewey, leading to the hands-on style of Goddard College, the Putney School, and the inseparable connection between education and democracy. We explore other progressive movements: Vermont’s famous Billboard law and Act 250, cultural movements such as Bread and Puppet Theater and finally Vermont’s groundbreaking civil union law. Democracy at work— differing voices, different points of view.
