CARICOM Children Website
 

It is part of the Plan of Action of the Forum of Ministers of Culture since 2009.

The general objective of the CARICOM Website for Children is to establish a Forum to promote an understanding of regional integration among children, as well as develop national and regional identities. The Website will provide the children with the opportunity to learn more about other children in the region and those from other countries in the world. Specifically, it is intended to function as a virtual knowledge network for the children of the Caribbean, Latin America and other parts of the world.

The project will facilitate transfer of knowledge through an interactive multimedia platform. The project is also expected to benefit parents, schools, business people, investors and politicians. The CARICOM Website for Children will be based at the CARICOM Headquarters in Georgetown, Guyana, and will be national, regional and international in scope.

Preliminary work for the website focused on research with respect to existing children’s websites, consultations on the design of the website and content development. Efforts to mobilize funding for the first phase of the project, namely the design and launch of the website, were concentrated on international organizations as well as the private sector. Preliminary consultations were held with agencies in a few CARICOM Member States with regard to alternative sources of funding for the project. These consultations are still in process.
