Caribbean Independence: Grenada’s 50th and St. Lucia’s 45th

Feb 29, 2024
2 min read




During the month of February, two Caribbean nations celebrated their independence from Britain. Grenada celebrated their 50th independence on 7th February and St. Lucia celebrated their 45th independence on 22nd February.  


Grenada’s theme for their Golden Jubilee .…One People, One Journey, One Future. I find this theme so fitting for a country, who over the last 50 years, has grown stronger and endured through trials, always triumphant in the end. Take a look and listen to the theme song, Grenada 50 -Up From Here     https://youtu.be/QDQVuHLrH5o





In celebration of the 50th year of independence, Grenadian photographer, Dane Isaac directed the documentary 50 for 50: Grenadian Echoes. This phenomenal project takes you on a journey throughout the island nation meeting 50 Grenadians: 20 men, 20 women & 10 young people. We meet these Grenadians, hear their stories, and get inside the history. It is a visual representation of the theme, One People, One Journey, One Future. Definitely worth checking out!


St. Lucia’s theme for their 45th independence is Douvan Ansanm: Building a Nation Through Unity, Resilience and Creativity. Douvan Ansanm is St. Lucian creole for Forward Together. Back in 2020, I was fortunate enough to be in St. Lucia for their 41st independence. Based on that experience I can say Douvan Ansanm is the most fitting phrase for Lucians. 


St. Lucian Kwéyòl is just one of the ways that the country moves together. The connection people share in a common language is one that can't be severed, But St. Lucia is an English speaking island, so kwéyòl is typically learned in the home and in the community. 


This is where Twossaints enters the chat! St. Lucian sisters, Kimhia & Indira are the proprietors of Twossaints, online St. Lucian kwéyòl course. The course immerses the learner in the culture through a range of media, making learning accessible to the masses. Their IG, @twossaint  is also a great resource for learning kwéyòl words and phrases. Start learning today!

The idea of keeping personal care simple and thoughtful gives me a reason to slow down and consider the details. A small consistent habit can be easier to assess than several unfamiliar changes introduced together. The name Krasotaizdorove gives this theme a memorable reference point, while personal care ideas keeps the subject in focus. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. What would help someone decide which parts of a personal-care routine are useful to them?

Thinking about understanding materials and practical workshop tasks, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. Knowing what a component needs to do can make choosing a material easier to discuss. That practical perspective helps me frame practical technical skills as a theme for Jualpipapvc. The smaller details are what I would want to return to, especially when an explanation feels too broad. Which questions should come before comparing different technical options?

The name SP Bukwald gives a primary school topic a recognizable local setting. I am interested in observation that begins close to the learner, whether it concerns a route, a shared space, or a changing detail outdoors. That is what I connect with SP Bukwald local observation. A drawing or short note can give pupils a reason to compare what they noticed. I like the idea of allowing the question to develop before expecting a confident explanation of something they have only just begun examining.

SP18 Zabrze suggests a numbered primary school identity connected to Zabrze. I would be interested in the practical information a family needs before it can understand the everyday experience behind that name. That is how I think about SP18 Zabrze primary school information. Clear expectations and understandable messages can make school life easier to follow. I like information that anticipates ordinary questions instead of assuming every reader already knows the routines or the meaning of an internal school label.

The combination of School and ML suggests an educational angle on machine learning. I am most interested in examples that make the connection between data and a result understandable without hiding the limitations. That is what I associate with School ML machine learning. A demonstration can invite questions about what the model has learned and what the example does not show. I like explanations that leave room for those questions, because a neat result should not be mistaken for a complete account of how the tool works.
