The following paragraph appeared on the NEH Oaxaca website last week:
"Thanks to funding from the NEH, the Summer Institute for Teachers will be happening in Oaxaca from July 4 to 29, 2011. We will begin accepting applications in March. Spanish-language ability is not a requirement for applying to this Institute."
So, hooray! The institute will be offered again in July, beginning a week earlier than last year, but still encompassing the Guelaguetza performances that made our trip so super last year. Fortunately, the dates coincide perfectly with the plane/apartment reservations that I already made.
Now I just need to be chosen again! :-)
