Curb to host public information series on Caricom
An antiracism group will host a public awareness campaign explaining Bermuda’s relationship with the wider Caribbean community.
Citizens Uprooting Racism in Bermuda announced its series of educational and engagement activities that will run for several months starting at the end of February.
The move was designed to inform the public about what Caricom was, how it operated and the perspectives around joining.
A spokeswoman said: “Rather than promoting a fixed advocacy position, Curb’s focus is on creating space for learning, reflection and informed discussion within Bermuda’s unique historical, cultural and constitutional context.”
The campaign will involve webinars and virtual information sessions, community surveys, lunch and learn discussions and community awareness events with conversations playing a central role.
Dates and details on how to participate will be shared through Curb’s social media platforms and e-mail.
The group said the purpose of the campaign was not to persuade the public, but to offer context and perspectives.
A representative said: “Our aim is to encourage thoughtful dialogue and open questions.
“When people have access to clear, non-partisan information, they are better positioned to develop informed, well rounded views on issues that may have long-term national significance.”
The first event will be a lunch and learn on February 26 at the Bermuda National Library at 12.30pm.
