Students of SALCC's Media Club and Digital Humanities programme were rewarded for their participation in Carib Excellence — a project aimed at strengthening ties between OECS countries and their French counterparts, namely Martinique and Guadeloupe
The project, “Carib Excellence,” is led by CO.RE.CA, a research based Youth Movement from Guadeloupe, in association with The Sir Arthur Lewis Community College as a partner institution.
A prize giving ceremony was held at SALCC on Tuesday May 16, 2023 , and served as the culminating activity of the year-long project.
The participating students were required to produce short documentaries focusing on areas of cooperation and sustainable development within their native country, in this case being Saint Lucia. The documentaries were evaluated based on the choice and treatment of their subject matter, as well as their script, storytelling, and production quality.
The prize for First Place went to the group known as The Eco Heroes, consisting of students Ana St. Prix, Claire Edwin, Jessea James and Danielle Baptiste. Their documentary centered around the topic of Waste Management.
The group Fawna Old Guard, consisting of George Mathurin, Jamal Jules and Ethan Sevrin placed second in the competiton. Their video focused on the topic of Eco-tourism — specifically why it is important in regard to Saint Lucia's natural beauty.
