Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

DYFIT will produce seven workshops for eight Emerging Leaders and members of the general public; Each Emerging Leader will produce their own small-scale experiments that are embodied solutions applied to ongoing community work. We will evaluate this programming through an end-of-project survey given to all participants, and track participant count.

Measurable Outcome(s)

14 SEED participants attended a total of 25 group learning and conversation sessions over a 7-month period. SEED members created and shared a total of 9 creative projects with each other and the wider DYFIT community, including 3 projects that have sprouted into ongoing, long-term work for these artists.
