Welcome to the Idaho Humanities Council, celebrating its 40th year in Idaho, connecting you to programs, grant opportunities, and resources that promote greater public awareness, appreciation and understanding of literature, history, philosophy, jurisprudence, and other humanities disciplines. The IHC seeks to deepen understanding of human experience by connecting people with ideas, by encouraging civility and good citizenship, and by initiating community conversations about ideas that enlighten us about the past and light our way toward wisdom and a meaningful future. TEACHERS! SIGN UP NOW!! In commemoration of Idaho's sesquicentennial, IHC will sponsor a series of four two-day regional workshops exploring Idaho territorial history for K-12 teachers starting in June of 2013. The workshops will be held in Boise, Lewiston, Pocatello, and Coeur d'Alene. There is some space at each site. Please contact Cindy Wang - cindy@idahohumanities.org - if you are interested in attending. Visit our site often to learn about programs and events in your area of the state.
