Hearty Tables is an online cooking and storytelling series featuring immigrant and refugee chefs. Food is universal but the culture of preparing is unique to each community. In celebration of World Refugee Day 2020, WeaveTales has partnered with the Museum of Science & History in Jacksonville and We Are All America to hold a 6-week video series that brings together storytelling and cooking. Starting on May 30, each week, an immigrant chef will share stories about families, the journey to America, and how cooking has inspired them as they build a new life in a new country.

Even while we can’t visit the Museum, the natural world is still out there for everyone to learn about and enjoy. GCV&M is moving our popular Nature Sunday activities online, where our expert naturalists will provide prompts, activities, and feedback to help our virtual visitors engage with the wildlife and ecosystems of your own backyards.
