Organized by four main themes listed below, THCSC will launch a public outreach campaign, to include grant guidelines, designed to attract projects and programs in the fields of edu., history, media, museum, library, nonprofit and arts-related admin. The goal of the RFP is to explore concrete demonstrations of how history education remains a powerful catalyst for civic/communal dialog.
