In 2010 the Government of Barbados held the first Barbados Diaspora Conference, themed "Strengthening the Bonds that Unite Us". An initiative of the late Prime Minister David Thompson, the conference provides the Barbadian diaspora and Friends of Barbados living abroad with the opportunity to network and share information and ideas that could contribute to Barbados' continued development.
Established to be a biennial event, the 2nd diaspora conference, also referred to as "Barbados Network onsultation 2012" (BNC 2012), will be held in Barbados at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Center, August 2 - 10 this year.
Themed "Linking Generations - Embracing Our Youth", BNC 2012 will have a strong emphasis on youth and on connecting the descendants of Barbadians living abroad with their roots and with youth in Barbados. Youth are involved in the planning of the conference and several youth in Toronto participated in the January videoconference/teleconference with representatives of organizations, consular and embassy staff from across North America, including Cuba and Venezuela; organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade and chaired by Minister Senator Maxine McClean.
Scheduled to coincide with the annual Crop Over festivities to allow attendees the opportunity to participate in both events, the conference will include exhibitions, educational, community and social activities as well as a church service.
Details of the conference agenda and the registration form will be available at a later date. If you are interested in attending you may contact the Barbados Consulate at Toronto at (416) 214-9805.
