Page 44 - PNM General Election 2020 Manifesto

The economic and social benefits of community
festivals and events are well documented and
include:

• Stimulating economic activity in the
communities
• Strengthening relationships and building
community cohesion
• Fostering Pride in the communities (consider
Felicity, Paramin and Point Fortin)
• Educating our people about our multicultural
society

TRAVEL SUBSIDIES FOR ARTISTES

To make access to regional and international
festivals more affordable, the PNM will create a
Travel Subsidy Programme for our artistes.

CULTURAL AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME

The PNM grasps fully the important role our
creatives play in representing brand Trinidad and
Tobago regionally and internationally and will
establish a Cultural Ambassador Programme for
outstanding local artistes, similar to our existing
Sports Ambassador Programme.
