UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE KNOXVILLE,
KNOXVILLE, TN -- $149,998
The University of Tennessee Knoxville will receive a Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program New Directions Grant of $149,998 to expand its outreach activities in the Knoxville Empowerment Zone. The University received a Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program New Grant in FY 1995 for a wide variety of revitalization activities in Knoxville. This New Directions will help the University and EZ residents set a course for their neighborhoods.
Among the activities Tennessee Knoxville will undertake are:
- Technical assistance and workshops in participatory research and project development;
- A Community Partnership Fellows Program for people from community-based organizations to enable them to participate in capacity building programs at the University; and
- An oral history project that will not only build a sense of community but also provide technical training on video production and computer graphics technology.
While not covered by grant funds, Tennessee Knoxville will also undertake as part of its overall COPC project, efforts at the State level to institutional outreach efforts, a teaching partnership with Knoxville College, a historically black college, and introduction of several new courses on participatory research and planning.
