ONGOING OUTREACH PROJECTS

Reel to Real

Communities across Wisconsin are using the power of PBS films to address core community needs. Reel to Real helps public and academic libraries host community film screenings and audience discussions with local experts, addressing a wide range of topics such as race and diversity, health care, education, social justice, the arts and civic engagement. This program is a partnership with the Wisconsin Library Association and is made possible by the generous support of UW Health, Alliant Energy and program innovation funding from the UW Extension Chancellor's Office.

Creating Health

In response to viewer interest and the national health debate, Wisconsin Public Television presents Creating Health, an ongoing educational initiative that addresses health issues important to Wisconsin residents. By integrating broadcasts, Web tools, and in-person events, Creating Health seeks to provide information to help guide individuals in making wise health decisions. These events are made possible by the generous support of UW Health and Alliant Energy.

Wisconsin PBS Kids

Wisconsin PBS Kids Outreach extends the value of our programming through classroom activities, training, web and print resources and community partnerships. Among these initiatives are the Wisconsin Bookworms project and the Reading Rainbow Young Writers and Illustrators Contest.
