Your experience could help shape the future of busking. Phoenix Rise Connect is proud to launch a new international research project: 🌦️ Weathering the Storm: Environmental Challenges Faced by Buskers This research is being conducted in collaboration with Aecooly and explores how changing weather conditions, heat, and outdoor environments affect street performers around the world. As part of this collaboration, we're also evaluating how innovative cooling technology could support performers during long outdoor performances and extreme summer conditions. The products featured in this collaboration include: ❄️ Aecooly Cold Air Ultra Portable Misting Fan – an advanced personal cooling system designed to rapidly reduce body temperature using micro-mist technology, making it ideal for outdoor performers in hot conditions. (Aecooly) 🌬️ Aecooly Table Fan Chic 01 – a portable cordless table fan with up to 40 hours of battery life, 100 adjustable speed settings, and a smart LED display, offering flexible cooling for performers backstage, at festivals, or during breaks between sets. (Aecooly) We're inviting buskers and street performers from around the world to share their experiences. Our research focuses on: 🎵 Heat, rain, wind and extreme weather 💰 The impact of weather on earnings 🎸 Equipment damage and maintenance costs 💙 Performer health, wellbeing and safety 🏛️ Local authority support and busking policies 🌍 The realities of performing outdoors Your responses will contribute to a research report designed to raise awareness of the challenges buskers face and provide evidence-based recommendations to improve support, wellbeing and working conditions for street performers worldwide. ✅ Open to buskers of all genres ✅ Performers from any country can take part ✅ Survey takes just 5–10 minutes ✅ Responses can be anonymous
