Adapting Culminating Events to Covid Times

Young people consistently rank culminating events—performances, exhibitions, youth summits, screenings of their films—as powerful motivators in their involvement in creative youth development (CYD) programs. New research from CultureThrive explores how CYD programs are adapting culminating events to largely virtual environments. The report includes the top challenges organizations face, trends in programming and events, implications for funders, and 11 strategies programs can adopt moving forward. Many of these strategies and concerns will continue past quarantine times, so take a look at their key findings.
