Project 2
Introduction
Festivals unite people and they come together for the sole purpose of celebration and happiness.
Other than that, festivals also help us embrace our culture and religion. They are very helpful in breaking
the monotony of life. Moreover, people look forward to festivals all-round the year.
Problem
After the pandemic, some countries are still struggling attracting more people to attend festivals
and due to some health restrictions and protocols, a number of people are stll not permitted to gather in
one place.
On the other hand, even before the pandemic, there are already some existing common problems
in holding a festival event.
As a group, come up with an action plan or proposal on how you will address these common
issues in celebrating festivals.
