    In this next section S.W.O.T analysis will be used to analyze the festivals strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats which will provide the framework that the recommendations will be based upon. The festival has many strengths that have enabled its continued success since its infancy. The location for the festival alone is a great strength as it takes place within the popular Gros Morne National Park which provides a setting of amazing natural landscapes, and spectacular scenery for the event. It is apparent that the festivals majority of customers are locals from nearby communities, which is great as it shows the festival has the support of the nearby communities, and does not rely on visitors from afar or out of the providence. The strong focus on community can also be seen within the festival as there are various local artists, musicians, and writers showcased along with the numerous local programs and collaborations with local arts groups, including the: Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador, Gross Morne Summer Music Program, and school outreach programs.…

    Between 1831 and 1832 there were more than 10 violent altercations between the Minjerribah people and the European settlers of Dunwich and Amity, which resulted in deaths on both culture’s side. (Thomas Welsby, 1907) In 1847 the British Sovereign sank in the South Passage (Johnston W Ross, 1988, pg.99). It was recognised that the people of Minjerribah and Ngugi were responsible for rescuing the survivors of the ship wreck. (Keats, JA, HM Smith, CC Rogers, and JP Rowe, 1966, pg.10) In the 1850s, the European settlers in the Cleveland area turned to the local Aboriginals when fishing became a major industry as they had been successfully and sustainably sourcing fish in the local area for centuries. Dugong and oyster fisheries were set up and often run by the people of Minjerribah and as Cleveland became a popular holiday destination for European settlers living in Brisbane. (Ryan and Tracy, 2000) The indigenous people taught the Europeans again how to fish for dugongs, oysters, and turtles, as well as finned fish. Selling their catch through Cleveland, some Aboriginals were considered the first commercial fishermen in the area. (Ryan and Tracy, 2000)…

    August 27, 2012, you and your friends pile into the care and you drive until you finally reach nowhere, also known as Black Rock Desert. Burning Man, a week long experience of art, exploration, freedom, and expression. When attending Burning Man there are not many rules, only a select few that are enforced. One of the enforced rules of Burning Man is that you leave the land the way you found it. If you bring it you take it. Volunteers stay weeks after Burning Man to make sure the desert is clean. Burning Man has a permit that allows up to 50,000 people to attend and this year, for the second in a row, they have sold out again. One thing that they mention to you when you get your ticket is that if they feel you can’t meet your basic needs (food, water, shelter…etc.) then they will not let you in and will ask you to turn around. People see this event as their ticket to express themselves completely with no fear of judgement. You may be thinking that people who deal with the crazy heat and harsh conditions are out of their minds but it is all part of the experience of survival and promoting being respectful of the land. How does this relate to you? Burning Man helps encourage artistic freedom and encourages unity.…

    For my second participation activity I went to the Kansas City Irish Festival on Monday, September 1, 2013. It was a nice labor day activity located in Crown Center near the heart of downtown Kansas City. There was certainly a lot to do and see while I was there. There were merchant tents all set up along the open grass area outside of Crown Center. I met a couple who had traveled from Ireland in Dublin to attend the festival to sell traditional Irish cutlery. They said that they will travel to Kansas City for the festival and pay for all their travel expenses through what they are able to sell. So then they are able to have a vacation through their travel and selling. Near the open grass area with the merchant tents there was a main stage set up with a regular entertainment schedule. While I was there I was able to see parts of three acts. The first was Eddie Delahunt. He was a bit older and had immigrated to the US from Ireland over 20 years prior. He was a solo singer, song writer playing traditional Irish ballads as well as some of his own songs. A good bit of his original music was directed to the trials of the working class. The second act I saw was Seamus Kennedy. Seamus was also a solo singer, song writer who had come from Belfast Northern Ireland. I was interested in that because one of my favorite writers, C.S. Lewis grew up in Belfast. Seamus was a big personality on stage and would often make the crowd interact with his songs. The third and final group I saw was called the Driscoll School of Irish Dance. I am not sure where the group was from, whether they were local or came from Ireland as well. They were a wonderful dance group who used steps from traditional Irish dance but also incorporated a lot of different modern choreography as well.…
