Hello to all the members of the beautiful Steemit family.
I am a professor at the National Experimental University of Arts Unearte, in which I am the facilitator of a very interesting Unit of Credits called Community Artistic Project in which the aspirants to the degree of Bachelor of Arts have the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and abilities that they are acquiring in their university career, managing cultural projects in real communities. According to my vision of the difficulties experienced by an artist in a very economically depressed country such as Venezuela, I insist on the importance for them to make efficient use of social networks to disseminate their projects and achieve international support to make them sustainable over time. In fact, as part of the Evaluation Plan that I apply they have to publish through the networks the achievements that they are reaching in the 4 projects that they are developing in groups. My preferred platform, of course, is Steemit since it would allow them not only to spread their projects but, eventually, to get some economic support in Steem... Up to now 5 of my students have already joined Steemit and at least 9 are waiting to be accepted. A special mention deserves @zaxan who already had a good time generating excellent content and who is a tangible example of success in this network. He is part of The Ark Project @elarca, a team that supports artistic initiatives on our platform.
On the 30th of October of this year, my 55th birthday, by the way, I had the opportunity to organize with my students a Conversation about Arts and Social Networks during which some friends writers who were attending the 1st Poetic Encounter of the South shared with them their experiences in the management of networks as support for their artistic practices. Obviously my presentation was about Steemit and at the end of which I had the great joy of announcing that, thanks to the support of @juliakponsford, who had the generous initiative of delegating me a significant amount of Steem Power, I am able to somehow boost their projects in Steemit... I proposed to them to designate Julia as our godmother and.., of course, everyone agreed... It would be lovely if you would also support us and become godparents of these young dreamers... In Venezuela we only have the alternative to appeal to international solidarity so that Art does not die...
