Regional Implications of the Guyana-Venezuela controversy on Latin America and the Caribbean
The Border Dispute between Guyana and Venezuela heats up as the date for a Venezuelan Referendum approaches while Guyana has taken the issue of Venezuela's threat to occupy some two thirds of its territory to the International Court of Justice. What are the implications of this for the Region and why we should be glued?

AI and I Reengeneering Education Culture Media in the Digital Age
On World Folklore Day I follow an invitation from a search engine to explore information about the day and folklore. It takes me down a rabbit hole of the representations and misrepresentations of information by AI, the new digital tool now widely available in the internet landscape. This takes a close look at how AI is altering that landscape. it is aimed to inform and build critical awareness around uses of AI across sectors.
In this post I look closely at how AI is misrepresenting and misinterpretation information which it shares along with semblance of 'moodiness' aligned to attitudes that are unnerving in a technical environment.

Dear Lizzie, RIP Letters To Lizzie Colonial Legacy
Stories from inside Commonwealth processes, as a witness to the tumultuous currents swirling at its centre threatening to burst its banks in the processes of empowering and tooling Commonwealth civil society to utilise the access afforded by new media to augment their voices while participating and provoking the Commonwealth’s interrogation of itself over the past two decades Letters to Lizzie morphs from lilbits Tweets in 120 characters to the MultiMedia MicroEpic.
From her birth with television and electronic media to the age of new media, the Legacy of Queen Elizabeth reaches beyond the colonial legacy of her ancestry,

Race for Respect in the Era of Augmented Reality on Social Media New 'R's' in literacy Happy World Literacy Day
An advertisement by a bank sparks a letter to an editor which is published in a newspaper, released on social media and stirs and sparks a virtual racial war.
The fingers point now to a cycle of blame: Who's at fault?
Is it that the advertising agency and the bank were insensitive to the deeply entrenched racism and other historical hurts festering in the society? Was the media fuelling racism to sell a few to a gullible public who is sure to jump at the ongoing race-baiting, consciously or subconsciously perpetrated on a society that cannot rise out of the scars of the past? Each may have very sound and solid justifications on its actions, but the reality is that media, culture and gender sensitive literacy have moved to the forefront of the challenge for social literacy, virtually replacing the traditional three R's with a new one - Respect!
And we are way past the time to begin to unravel and rethread the flaying and flawed social fabric.
It points to the challenge for social, cultural, gneder sensitive literacy and re-educating the education setor ...

UNESCO supports Trinidad's challenge to World Bank classifications of island states - Caribbean Times News
UNESCO supports Trinidad’s challenge to World Bank classifications of island states
It requests that UNESCO’s Institute of Statistics collate the relevant data for phased presentation to the Executive Board, “taking account of the vulnerabilities linked to limitations of size and resources economies of scale, indebtedness, external economic shocks and natural hazard occurrences and resources.”
Support for the resolution came from not only small island developing states (SIDS) of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans but also ‘developed’ island states as the UK as well as countries like the United States, Sweden, and China who recognised the place of SIDS in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and to ‘the future of the planet.’
UNESCO’s Finance Commission (FA) is charged with examining budgetary provisions of the organisation. It is one of two commissions, with the Programme and External Relations Commission (PX), which is co-chaired by Dr Rampersad with the representative of Mexico.
“This has implications for not only on SIDS but all of the developing world, Unless these misrepresentations are addressed we are likely to face the same pitfalls in meeting the United Nation’s new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),” said Rampersad, an independent development educator/consultant who has been promoting culture-centred approaches to development as the UNESCO-trained heritage facilitator for the Caribbean and Trinidad and Tobago’s Representative to the Executive Board, 2013-2017.
She noted that persistent poverty and other glossed-over internal challenges have hampered achievement of the Millennium Goals. She observed that the GDP classifications have also restricted access to technical and other resources by civil society and others working to redress the imbalances at poverty, gender disparity and other inequalities at ground level.
