DEAR FRIENDS,
We’ve used our tagline “connecting people with ideas” for more than 25 years, and it continuesto be an accurate representation of our mission. So often, we talk about the “ideas” side of theequation. Over the last two years, it was really the people – connecting with one another – thatdefined our work.
When our original play Dreaming Again toured the state last spring, telling the New Hampshireimmigration story from the early settlers to today, a transformational exchange took place.Performers and audience members alike experienced the connecting power of the play’s storiesof escape, survival and homemaking in a new land. Through the play and the other events inour three-year project, Fences & Neighbors: New Hampshire’s Immigration Stories, we reflectedon the meaning of the American Dream, then and now, and thought about what it means forour children.
In the creation of our new bilingual picture book, The Story of a Pumpkin, we invited refugeesfrom Bhutan to share their traditional stories with us. This book, in the hands of librariansand elementary school teachers around the state, is serving to introduce neighbors to one another, building bridges of understanding across cultures. And, as part of our adult literacyprogram, Connections, it will facilitate English language acquisition among natives and newcomers alike.
Beloved Humanities to Go presenters now have groupies, who travel wherever their favoritespeakers are appearing. They join crowded rooms of local folks for evenings of laughter,learning, and spirited conversation. And many talented new presenters offering a dazzlingarray of new programs joined our Humanities to Go speakers bureau through our new catalogreleased in the fall.
We hope you enjoy perusing this Annual Report and exploring through words and images themany worlds that have come together to celebrate the power and pleasure of the humanities inour lives.

Chair, Board of Directors Executive Director

For almost four decades, the New Hampshire Humanities Council has been bringing the thrill of discovery and the powerof ideas to people of all walks of life, from all corners of our state.
WE SUPPORT local cultural and educational institutions during hard economic
times by awarding grants for innovative educational programs and capacity-building.
WE INVITE citizens to reason together, to learn from and listen to one another.
WE OFFER teachers cost-effective, content-rich professional development that
strengthens the teaching of the humanities in our schools.
WE DEVELOP communities of readers, especially among those struggling with
literacy and those new citizens just learning about their new culture and government.
Our programs connect people to culture, history, places, ideas and one another.
In 2011 and 2012 we funded 1,524 free programs in more than 200 New Hampshire
cities and towns reaching more than100,000 Granite Staters and partnering
with more than 300 community organizations.
FENCES & NEIGHBORSNew Hampshire’s Immigration Stories
“I was happy to see theconfidence of the womenand feel their strongdesire to tell their stories.This clearly provided animportant outlet for themas well as an education forothers. You have createdsomething unbelievablyimportant for thesewomen…and for therest of us.”
WHOLE CLOTH PROJECT PARTICIPANT,
CONCORD, NH
Our three-year initiative, Fences & Neighbors: New Hampshire’s Immigration Stories,
presented opportunities to share experiences of arrival in the Granite State through
a number of community collaborative projects including Whole Cloth, which brought
the stories of African refugee women, told in words and fiber art, to communities
across New Hampshire. Saint Anselm College’s Humanities After School program
offered students, both immigrant and native born, a chance to explore the world
through the humanities. And the Center for the Humanities at the University of
New Hampshire produced Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire, a
powerful documentary that vividly told the stories of several recent refugees to New
Hampshire. Film screenings and discussions were held in communities across the state.
Participants in the Whole Cloth project, funded by a Fences & Neighbors grant.

FENCES & NEIGHBORSNew Hampshire’s Immigration Stories
“With a convincing dialect ordeft mannerism, a well-placeddrum riff, or a simple twist ofthe scarf, the ensemble ofDreaming Again transported its audiences into the emotional,legal, political, cultural, and economic landscapes of NH’simmigrants and refugees. Theoral histories of escape, survival,and homemaking, from theAmoskeag Mills in 1850 to Laconia in 2010, lived on stagewith such power that a Sudanesewoman spontaneously shoutedher own strong lines along withactress Lydia Hannibal—‘Down, down Al-Bashir!’”
Dreaming Again project evaluator Emily Archer
The Humanities Council commissioned a play as the culminating event in our
three-year initiative, Fences & Neighbors: New Hampshire's Immigration Stories.
Dreaming Again is an original dramatic play written by Genevieve Aichele, Director
of the New Hampshire Theatre Project, and based on the stories of Granite State
immigrants and refugees, past and present. A professional cast and musicians offered
ten performances last spring to enthusiastic audiences in Laconia, Manchester, Gorham,
Concord, Dover, Keene, Portsmouth and Claremont.

CONNECTIONS
“Our young people willask many questions abouthow life used to be inBhutan when parents andgrandparents told folkstories to the children.Your work will help tomake the lives of refugeesin their new home better.”
TIKARAM ACHARYA,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,
BHUTANESE COMMUNITY
OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Connections is a book discussion program offered in collaboration with adult basiceducation classes, the prisons, refugee resettlement organizations, and other nonprofitssupporting adult literacy and English language acquisition. In 2011 we initiated theBhutanese Nepali Folktale Project, a collaboration with Bhutanese storytellers, artists,interpreters, transcribers, and the Bhutanese Community of New Hampshire to recordtraditional folktales from their native culture with the goal of producing a picture bookin English and Nepali. In the summer of 2012 we launched The Story of a Pumpkin witha Folktale Festival where we shared stories, food, music and dancing. The Story of aPumpkin has been distributed to libraries and schools throughout the state and is available to purchase through the University Press of New England.Photo by Deb Cram.
HUMANITIES TO GO
“The many programs you offer provide not only cultural and educational opportunitiesfor smaller communitieslike ours, but also help reinforce our New England heritage.”
CHRISTINE FOGG,
BELMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Humanities to Go is our speakers bureau, offering 200 humanities programs to
community organizations across New Hampshire reaching tens of thousands of
Granite Staters. In 2011 the NH Business and Industry Association recognized the
success of Humanities to Go with its NH Advantage Award. In 2012 we held an
audition for new programs and unveiled a revised and expanded catalog. The new
catalog features programs on the Chinook, a New Hampshire-bred dog that pulled
explorers to the South Pole; the documents behind the Salem Witch trials and what
they tell us; the undying appeal of Sherlock Holmes; and the secrets revealed by
cellar holes. Learn more and browse the on-line catalog at www.nhhc.org.Humanities to Go presenter Joan Gatturna as Rachel Revere. Photo by Cheryl Senter.
CONSTITUTIONALLY SPEAKING
“I don’t believe there is any problem of American politics and public life that is more significanttoday than the pervasivecivic ignorance of the Constitution of the UnitedStates and the structure ofgovernment.”
Justice David H. Souter
In 2012 we began a new major initiative, Constitutionally Speaking, in collaboration
with the NH Supreme Court Society, the UNH School of Law, and the soon to be
created NH Institute for Civic Education. The aim of Constitutionally Speaking: to
engage New Hampshire citizens of all ages in civil yet spirited dialogue about
important constitutional issues of our time and to galvanize support for the
reintroduction of meaningful civics education in our schools. We launched the
project in September with a public event with Justice David Souter at the Capitol
Center for the Arts in Concord. A November 17 Symposium at UNH School of
Law featured distinguished constitutional experts from across the nation. The
project continues in 2013 with community conversations, K-12 programming, and
public events. Learn more at www.constitutionallyspeakingnh.com.

“I’m a big believer in the idea that weswim in a river of knowledge. Some ofthe information that comes and flowsthrough us comes from our distant pastand we call that genetics. Some of itcomes in the form of art and cultureand music and ideas and we call that thehumanities. It is what flows through usand forms us.”
David Brooks, 2011 Annual Dinner Keynote Speaker
ANNUAL DINNER 2011
“Faith isn’t meant to accommodate people to injustice, but rather to give them the meansto challenge it.”

Humanities Council
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE HUMANITIES COUNCIL IS
an independent non-profit, not a state agency. We reach people in every
region of the state. NHHC RECEIVES APPROXIMATELY HALF ITS
FUNDING from the National Endowment for the Humanities and
raises the remaining half from individuals, corporations and foundations.
NHHC REACHES MORE THAN 100,000 viewers and listeners
annually through humanities broadcasts on radio, television and the web.
NHHC CONNECTS Granite Staters with ideas, precious cultural
resources, and, most importantly, with one another.
In 2011 the Humanities Council awardeda grant to the Arts Alliance of NorthernNew Hampshire for Caravanserai: APlace Where Cultures Meet. The project introduced Granite Staters to art and artists from the Muslim world.
