Events Director of the Dominica Festivals Committee (DFC), Nathalie Clarke is urging stake holders to unite in order to motivate young people to get involved in traditional carnival celebrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you notice the more mature people are the ones who do the mas,\u2019 the sensays, the lapos, the bande mauvais, the darkies. If you look at the organising committee unit they are mature people. Where are the young people that are being nurtured to take up the baton and run with it?\u201d Clarke inquired.<\/p>\n

She said that if nothing is done to make culture important to the youth, traditional mas\u2019 and Dominica\u2019s culture will disappear.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to get serious about passing on the techniques of how to make the costumes. We have to motivate them to become darkies, or sensays so that our culture can live on,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n

Clarke also noted that the various village carnival organisations should use Carnival City as a method of marketing and selling the Dominican carnival experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recognize in Dominica that the village carnival\u2019s are the strength of who you are and I applaud you, but I also recognise that all that beauty, creation and excitement that you do in the villages has no space or home where all minds can contend or come in to one captive space,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She argued that it is easier to sell the carnival experience when it is in one area. \u201cYou can sell it as a package to the region, internationally, everyone will know that you can come to Carnival City, pay your money and experience the whole beauty of Dominica\u2019s carnival in one space,” she said.<\/p>\n

Clarke noted that the DFC intends to work closely with the various village carnival organising committees to assist in expanding carnival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Events Director of the Dominica Festivals Committee (DFC), Nathalie Clarke is urging stake holders to unite in order to motivate young people to get involved in traditional carnival celebrations. \u201cIf you notice the more mature people are the ones who…","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-carnival"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMore youth participation in traditional carnival -
