For the last half of the year for the past year, KTOO newsroom is working on a huge project that will be launched this week. Mga Kuwento, which means “the stories” in Tagalog is headed by the KTOO Community Engagement Producer, Tasha Elizarde. Tasha and her team collaborated with a variety of partners on this project which included Filipino Community Inc., and the Juneau-Douglas Museum.
This is the entire interview of Tasha about the motivation behind the project as well as details about each of the elements that comprise the community celebration as well as the museum exhibit as well as the audio podcast.
