This webinar focuses on attracting diverse youth audiences to arts programs. Jason Damata, Operations Director for Rise Edutainment and Mentorship and Projects Manager for Vibe Arts, shares his experiences and insights on building community, engaging youth, and promoting participation. He discusses challenges and successes in community building, emphasizing the importance of understanding youth perspectives and creating meaningful engagement.
Based solely on the provided transcript, the strategies discussed by Jason Damata are applicable to a small, rural population, but may require adaptation. The core principles of building authentic connections, prioritizing youth needs, and creating meaningful engagement remain relevant regardless of population size or location. However, the specific tactics (e.g., leveraging social media for outreach) might need modification to fit the unique context of a rural area with potentially limited internet access or different social dynamics. The transcript does not provide specific guidance on adapting these strategies for a rural setting, so further research would be needed to determine the most effective approach.
