Experience the Humanities
With hundreds of events each year, our community of storytellers and idea lovers is waiting for you. Get involved in the humanities — attend an event, start a conversation, and participate in one of our initiatives.
Our community is filled with speakers who lead powerful conversations about what it means to be human. Participate in the movement of ideas by bringing a Kansas speaker to your school, organization or community. You'll walk away with new insights — and with ideas about how you can impact the world.
