@sim If you regularly do events promoting your culture, people will see it as a festivity and be attracted by the chance to try new food, listen to music, see stage performances and all that. And that in turn will make them be interested in it in a positive way and want to learn more. But pushing for it can only cause resistance. You also can't cry "cultural appropiation" when you see someone singing a song they heard at your event in the wrong way, because then you'll make them hostile to you rather than interested. If instead of getting angry you show the proper way, especially with kids, they'll go and show their family or friends instead.
