A new generation of female artists is challenging the status quo in Cambodia
In Cambodia, filial duty trumps personal passion and creative professions are stigmatized. However, there are a number of organizations working to support young artists.
Providing government-accredited schooling to hundreds of children every year as well as vocational training in music, art, and circus performance, PPSE prepares young Cambodians for careers in a variety of creative industries. One approach that PPSE uses to change public perceptions is to provide skills that prepare young people for the commercial side of careers in art.
Public-sector support for the arts in Cambodia is a sign of a growing shift in perspective. Collaboration between Phare, TSI, and government ministries on several strategies seems to indicate a departure from the past.

With the backing of multilateral initiatives, such as the World Food Programme, funding agencies could promote the collaboration between Indigenous and other local communities.
