UNESCO: Transcultura Creative Tourism Capacity-building and Training Workshops 2025 (Grenada, St Vincent and the Grenadines)

Text of the call with an illustration of a city.

The EU-funded UNESCO programme Transcultura: Integrating Cuba, the Caribbean and the European Union through Culture and Creativity launches a call for applications for young artists and tourism entrepreneurs from the Caribbean to participate in its Creative Tourism Capacity-building and Training Workshops in St George, Grenada (24–28 February 2025) and Kingstown, St Vincent and the Grenadines (17–21 March 2025).

The workshops will include keynotes in plenary sessions, thematic panel discussions and breakout group sessions. Participants will be asked to complete assignments designed to put their learning into practice and gather the necessary information to develop creative tourism proposals for the Caribbean region. While a key focus of the workshops will be on designing and developing participants’ own sustainable tourism products based on CCIs, collective work will also be made to develop new strategies and narratives for tourism at both the destination level and across the entire Caribbean region.

The call is open to artists and tourism entrepreneurs who are actively operating within a Caribbean tourism destination and running initiatives within any of the Cultural and Creative Industries categories. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 35 and must be citizens and legal residents of one of the 17 Caribbean countries within the geographical scope of the Transcultura programme: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.

A total of 50 participants will benefit from one-week capacity-building workshops.

Transcultura will cover all expenses for participation in one of the capacity-building and training workshops, including: return flight in economy class, accommodation, transfers, visa costs, meals and daily transportation.
