ARTS & LANGUAGE This section aims to highlight and present key issues that were offered during the Maathi Yosi seminar with regards to the involvement and the participation of youth in the Tamil Arts and Language scene. This section will also aim to provide possible solutions or recommendations to cultivate sustainable youth interest in the Tamil Arts and Language. Based on an initial ground survey that was conducted, as seen in figure 1, participants were of the opinion that after university, there are not enough opportunities to facilitate an individual’s exploration of the Arts. The discussions during the seminar ascertained exactly which areas were in need of improvement. The issues that were discussed focused on three main tenants: 1. Theatre & film production interest 2. Dance & music involvement and participation 3. Language, novel writing & education interest * Source: Findings from ground survey Maathi Yosi | 2019 10
