CARIB RESERVE – DANGRIGA, BELIZE
During the course of ten years of consultations, cultural activists, stakeholders and community participants, GAMAE repeatedly identified a vision for an economic growth and development strategy and plan for the Dangriga Garifuna Community that will be based on the collective values of respect, tolerance, hard work, democracy, social justice and the empowerment of children, youth and young adults. It was suggested that these core values should be reanimated to ensure the success of future generations of Garifuna children, youth and young adults. For this reason, the Institute’s policy framework is a values-based document in which the participants will identify the need to build social cohesion among the diverse Dangriga populations, and to do so by proposing a model that allows all Garifuna children, youth, young adults and other cultural groups the theoretical and practical space for cultural expression and creativity.
