Minister George Pledges Support for Creative Mapping and Warri Revival
Minister of Sports and Creative Industries Dwayne George has pledged his support for two national cultural projects following a meeting with cultural advisor Dr. Hazra Medica on Tuesday, September 22.
Dr. Medica, who manages both projects, briefed the minister on work to map Antigua and Barbuda’s creatives as part of a Cultural Information System. She also updated him on the Warri Revival Programme, supported through UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Fund.
The Warri programme aims to introduce the traditional game throughout the public school system and train 550 students through the Antigua and Barbuda Warri Academy.
Dr. Medica said she intends to pursue a UNESCO nomination for Warri later this year to strengthen its recognition as part of Antigua and Barbuda’s cultural identity. George said he would use his ministerial influence to help bring both projects to completion.
