Q. Seeking advice from edutainment professionals
Dear friends,
I am working on an edutainment start-up based on rich heritage of Saint Petersburg (Russia); main activities will include edutainment about city architecture, walking trips, city views in paintings, historical facts about city, culture and legends of Saint Petersburg.
Seeking an experienced edutainment professional who can share ins and outs of this business.
Cheers,
Sasha

My first questiin to you will be: how are the arts funded and supported in your country by both the government and the NGO sectors? The next would be: what sort of edutainment are you looking at getting into regarding this particular project?- if it is the use of performing the performing arts i.e dance, drama/plays/skits etc, then I would say to you that you would then have to consider the financial implications of wht you are getting into. Consider who you will have to work with, what services they will be providing you with as well as how much you are willing to pay them. This is particularly relevant when you have to make use of artists such as actors and actresses to drum up support for your business as well raise awareness on your project. I hope this helps.
We use this sort of approach in my country and, to a large extnd it does work.

Dear Rutendo,
Thank you for sharing your experience. In our case edutainment is mainly around digitizing educational content in appelaing form (audio, video), then delivering it in relevant loactions (location based consumption). We weren't thinking on involving performing artists, although after your comment we may re-think this approach. Thank you again, Sasha
