Utsjoki (oo-ts-ye-aw-k-ee)
I am most proud of a community arts project I undertook while on a university exchange programme to Lapland, Finland. It was a project where I taught snow and ice sculpting and carving to schoolchildren in the Artic Circle with the end result being a Snow and Ice play park in the school grounds. The town where this took place was called Utsjoki and is located at the farthest north point of Finland and where I spent a week, every day, outside in -10 and knee deep in snow but I loved it.
A bit more about the project…
The project came form an association between ‘The Snow Show’ (see link below) and the university in which I was studying. I had previously worked on The Snow Show and another community based art project where I learned how to build and carve snow and ice installations and of which I am also extremely proud.
After learning this skill I sought out other projects and I was fortunate to join the Ustjoki project, on the basis of having previous experience. Together with Pia Kostander, a Finnish Education student, and the local children we built a snow and ice play park in the school playground.
The aim of the project was to teach through workshops sculpture techniques, whilst engaging with the local environment. The hope was that they would view their surroundings in a different way. We achieved our goal by teaching how to build snow installations and how to carve snow and ice.

MACOMB, IL — “The Peace Corps represents some of, if not all, the best virtues in this society. It stands for everything that America has ever stood for — it stands for everything we’ve ever stood for and hope to achieve in the world. ” — Sargent Shriver, First Peace Corps Director
Founded in 1961, the Peace Corps is on the precipice of an historic milestone, one that will likely review the almost 50 years of not only extolling the virtues that many feel embody the United States of America, but also of actually putting those virtues into practice across the globe. As the national Peace Corps program readies to celebrate its golden anniversary in a little over a year, the Peace Corps Fellows Program (PCF) in Community Development at Western Illinois University caps it 15th year in 2009 and can tout similar accomplishments. After 15 years, the program’s alumni and current Fellows can recall how the PCF Program in Community Development has helped them achieve a master’s degree and required them to explore the theories of community development. They can also look back at how they were able to put theory into practice and survey how their service and knowledge has contributed to the development of rural communities across Illinois.
The Mission
A unit of the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs (IIRA), which is housed at Western, the PCF Program in Community Development provides former Peace Corps volunteers the opportunity to pursue a master’s degree with a specialization in community development, explained Karen Mauldin-Curtis, who has managed the program since 2004.
“Students, referred to as ‘Fellows,’ can pursue an advanced degree in one of six fields of study offered at WIU,” noted Mauldin-Curtis. “After each Fellow has completed his or her coursework, they then each serve an 11-month internship in a rural community in Illinois. The internship provides the students with practical experience as they help lead community development projects in the town or county in which they are serving. Since the program was established 15 years ago, we have had more than 89 Fellows serve in towns and counties in Illinois.”
Currently, the master’s degree offerings via the PCF Program in Community Development include business administration (MBA), economics, political science (public administration), recreation, park and tourism administration, geography (regional planning) and health sciences.

Created in February 2010, this community art video was compiled by International Development students in a second year course, IDEV 2500 Introduction to International Development Studies, at the University of Guelph. Connected to a discussion of the impact and community-building potential of the Arts (music, literature, poetry, art, dance, and theatre) on and in International Development, this video was a pedagogical exercise in discovering the power of participating in a large-scale community art project and bringing curriculum ideas and theories into practice.
