Evaluating sustainability from Individual & Organisations' Perspectives
1. Participation in Cultural Events
Decline across generations
-
limited to circle of participant
e.g. elites from political and economic fields
-
many participants are at old/ middle age
2. Promotion of Events
Limited
-
younger generation has no related information
-
some believed events are conducted in Chiuchownese
3. Chiuchownese Language
Low incentive to learn
-
the language lacks social/ economic capital
4. Passing on Chiu Chow Identities
Pessimistic for Pauline & Judith
-
need for passing on is low
-
know little about the language & culture
-
lack incentive to pass on

-
more at their 40s/ 50s
2. Promotion of Events
Diversified

-
work with schools

encourage participation as family
-

-
low participatory rate for language courses
4. Passing on Chiu Chow Identities
Optimistic
