Our Initiatives
CO150 Southwest - Signature Initiatives
We anticipate hundreds of anniversary-oriented projects and events across the state in 2026.
The Southwest Colorado LOC has initiated a few projects.
We call these events Signature Initiatives. More details on these are emerging, and more unique initiatives will be added.
-
Passport to Southwest Colorado
Produced by fourth-grade teachers for fourth-grade students, this fun, interactive print and electronic media project will encourage students and parents to visit and learn more about fascinating places in their region.
-
Sing Colorado!
Music is a powerful expressive force and cultural foundation. Sing Colorado! will produce a toolkit of resources to enable groups around SW Colorado to produce local choral events highlighting Colorado’s rich musical tradition.
-
Power of Place
This collaborative, multi-discipline initiative will broaden the understanding of K-12 students to the impact that our geography, climate, and culture have on our community and how we, in turn, shape these features.
-
Oral Histories
Oral histories add a layer of richness to our understanding of the past that is only sometimes captured on the printed page.
Listen to the stories and perspectives of people who have experienced historical events.
