The UWI Open Campus Launches Transcultura Programme With UNESCO

Participants from Trinidad and Tobago are taking part in Phase One of the University of the West Indies partnership with UNESCO’s Transcultura Programme for persons from Spanish-speaking Caribbean countries.

The programme is titled “Integrating Cuba, the Caribbean and the European Union through Culture and Creativity,”

It is being implemented in collaboration with UNESCO’s Regional Office for Culture in Latin America and the Caribbean and funded by the European Union.

Acting Principal of The UWI Open Campus, Dr Francis Severin, said the partnership will further deepen regional integration in the Caribbean and is in sync with the UWI’s strategic goals of ACCESS, AGILITY and ALIGNMENT.

Dr Severin said the goal of Access is met through the expansion of higher education and training opportunities, which the Transcultura Programme will provide for four hundred and eighty participants.
