* Hello!

Welcome to the Caribbean InTransit Membership Survey. Caribbean InTransit is an arts for social transformation non-profit registered in Trinidad & Tobago & Virginia. We specialize in curating motivational and inspiring cultural experiences and opportunities for our members. You are invited to participate in our study examining the factors that contribute to participation in and practice of the arts.

In this study, approximately 100 people will be asked to complete a survey that asks questions about their relationship with specific forms of arts, their participation through various media and the barriers that they may encounter while deciding to participate in arts activities. In addition, the survey asks about the kinds of experiences and services that audiences desire and artists are in need of. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the study at any point.

It is very important for us to learn your opinions. Your survey responses will be stricly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and remain accessible only to Caribbean InTransit and its partners.

If you have questions at any time about the study or the procedures, you may contact Caribbean InTransit, by email at [email protected] or [email protected].
