RUX releases Living with Complexity Case Studies and Handbook
With support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Living with Complexity Case Studies and Currency of Connection Handbook tell the story of the first seven years of the Kentucky Rural-Urban Exchange, and the Kentuckians who have been impacted. The Kentucky Rural-Urban Exchange (RUX) is a creative leadership program designed to develop skills and confidence, grow social capital, and build relationships to bridge divides. Founded in 2014 as a joint-program of Art of the Rural and Appalshop, RUX has grown to include 250 alumni from 42 counties, and 11 host communities. Each of these members have traveled across rural and urban Kentucky to build connections across cultural, racial, economic and geographic divides, engaging in conversations that challenge their identities but also help them discover similarities they share with those they have thought opposing.
Please enjoy this opportunity to hear from them.
