The Institute for Small Town Studies is developing several new Education Programs
to assist small town libraries, museums, K-12s, community colleges, universities and
continuing education programs, as they continue to explore their own communities.

An exciting new program, entitled Place Matters, coordinated by ISTS Research Fellow
B. D. Wortham, places cameras in the hands of elementary school children, asks them to
visually explore their town, and begins a discussion about people, place and community.

In 2005 and 2006, ISTS joined a work crew organized by the Tewecado Trust of Tucson,
Arizona, traveling to the village Cerocahui, Chihuahua, to assist the Catholic orphanage
of the Tewecado Mision with both their restoration projects and their educational mission.

In 2004, ISTS traveled to towns large and small in central Mexico as part of Iowa State
University Wapello Extension's Educational Travel Experience for Community Leaders.
