One Minute for My Rights Training Expands in Barbados
By the end of this year, twelve more Barbadians between the ages of 17 and 25 will be qualified to teach One Minute for My Rights video production to children and youth. This was as a result of a Training of Trainers workshop conducted by the Youth Development Department of the Ministry of Education Youth Affairs and Sports.
Since returning from the Caribbean One Minute for My Rights Training workshop held in Suriname in May 2005, the Department has reached more than 50 children from three communities across Barbados. This was done using primarily one trainer Nicolas King, one of the persons who attended the workshop in Suriname.
Chief Youth Development Officer, Colin Clarke, noted that the purpose of the Training of Trainers workshop was to increase the number of trainers so that more children can be reached with this project. In addition, the Youth Development Programme also intends to integrate the One minute for my Rights into its Project Oasis programme, which is designed to provide “boys on the block” with positive alternatives.
The workshop was supported by the UNICEF Office for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean and was facilitated by Nicolas King and Rivelino Simmons, who were trained during the workshop in May.
