One Youth leader is aiming to educate the Barbadian young people about the benefits of being in CARICOM.
Caricom Youth Ambassador, Zuwena Perry spoke to The Barbados Advocate about her organisation’s campaign, “I am Caricom” at Barbados Youth Development Council’s Hues of Youth on Sunday. Perry explained that it is important for the youth to gain more knowledge about the organisation and participate in CARICOM related activities. She added that all the CARICOM youth ambassadors in the region will be hosting an HIV/AIDS survey to educate the authorities about what the youth know and how to better tailor their messages to this audience.
Also, Perry invited Barbadians to visit the Facebook page and try the quiz to see if they are a CARICOM expert. This is the CARICOM Youth Ambassadors’ (CYA)second year participating with the Barbados Youth Development Council’s Youth Expo.
The six hour event which took place on the grounds of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society was part of the umbrella youth organisation’s week of activities to encourage and empower young people in Barbados. Twenty youth entrepreneurs, youth organisations, visual and graphic artists registered for the BYDC event where they displayed their various products and services.
