This is part of a special series of Folk U Radio done in partnership with Cortes Currents that takes the Folk University model of slow learning, local knowledge sharing, and neighbours sharing with neighbours and combines it with Cortes Currents commitment to covering the news most relevant to our communities at this time. This show is brought to you by the Local Journalism Initiative - the program funded by Heritage Canada and administered through the Community Radio Fund of Canada. With support from Cortes Literacy and Decoda Literacy Solutions.
