PACE Strategic plan meeting

Workshop on a Strategic Plan for PACE
Thurs Nov 19th at 9:00 a.m. at the Pastoral Centre

The meeting was attended by 30 persons from various sectors. A good, short and productive meeting indeed !

A draft plan was circulated earlier for comments. This crucial meeting laid down a strategic plan for the CREATIVE SECTOR in St Lucia which includes fashion, music, film, visual and performing arts, arts and crafts, advertising, audio-visual and architecture.

This plan will guide the work of PACE for the next 2-3 years so please we need your involvement.
Maxine Alleyne-Esprit of the Export Development Unit of the OECS Secretariat will be there as well as Dr Cletus Bertin who presented about ICT and Culture.

This workshop was made possible by the assistance of SLSCI.

PACE had a beautiful week / PACE et sa belle semaine

Carbon emission - events

I found this website who is helping event manager to estimate their Carbon emission by event !

it is in french only but I am sure we can find the same in english...
It is time for the Caribbean to get involved in carbon emission advocacy, so all the festivals in the region can show to their public that we are in it !

a film festival in Dominican Republic !

18-22 November 2009 - 3rd edition of the Dominican Global Film Festival

An other film event in the region !
It seems that film and audio visual is badly needed in the caribbean - well more opporutnities to show our local production as well.

let's make movies now.
