Today speaking with a friend the idea sparked that we need to create some awareness of and in our community. I feel like there is an epidemic. Our youth and or city are suffering from a lack of interaction and education. The youth has little to nothing to do, other than being absorbed into social media. Where their lives are being swept from under their feet. Next thing you know they will be young dumb and with no aspirations. There are so many creative outlets that need to be exposed and explored. I've given thought to an event to showcase the facets of our community to inspire creativity. I thought of vendors, activities, performances, demos, education and local foods. A type of miniature festival came to mind. Multiple days with timed activities. I would like to show more perspectives to living and creating. It would be great to draw from local talent, food, and resources to bring everything together. Expose the deeper culture within our community to raise the awareness that we are not meeting the needs of our future. Our children have little to explore and our economy suffers from lack or growth. People are dying to leave instead of dying to stay in our community. So much more could be offered to our future through their future, our youth. Bringing everyone under a common cause will help to unite the community. We need to create and support more local businesses, we need to create spaces for our youth to learn and grow in a positive setting. YMCA could be a possible choice or a nonprofit organization to work towards creating a positive conscious community. With the development and execution of the event I have in mind we can help to turn things around and promote positive exciting change in our city.
