Colorado Humanities will continue to work toward meeting the goal of integrating the humanities into public life in Colorado through objectives stated in the 2019-2023 plan: 1. Engage Colorado communities in important conversations about contemporary issues that reflect diverse narratives. 2. Provide humanities-based opportunities to encourage lifelong learning. 3. Develop programs that recognize racial, ethnic or cultural diversity. 4. Develop programs with geographic diversity with emphasis on issues of import to rural Coloradans. 5. Develop programs that employ as broad an array of humanities disciplines as possible. 6. Build partnerships to promote collaboration with existing and prospective program partners statewide. 7. Increase Colorado Humanities' financial capacity and resources to achieve objectives. 8. Use a range of technologies to deliver and promote programs.
