With the aim of “helping to build a more inclusive society” and strengthening cultural cooperation between Haiti and the EU, the European Union delegation in Haiti is launching a call for proposals with a budget of 500,000 euros.

This initiative aims to boost Haiti’s cultural sector, which is facing “numerous challenges”, says the delegation, which is asking interested parties to express their interest before noon on September 30, 2024.

The deadline for submission of supporting documents is noon on October 9, 2024.

Interested parties are invited to visit the delegation’s website for more information on the project and to submit their proposal by filling in the grant application form and attaching the budget for the project.

The call for proposals to “support Haiti’s cultural dynamism” will be subsidized to the tune of 500,000 euros, the delegation informs, stressing that grant applications must be submitted for between 400,000 and 500,000 euros.

Increasing the visibility of Haitian cultural events, promoting intercultural dialogue and supporting culture as an engine for social and economic development are among the objectives of this ambitious program to support “Haitian culture for a better future”, according to the EU, which also wishes to disseminate its fundamental values through cultural activities aimed at inclusion, poverty and conflict reduction.

Andros: 178 blue holes, 162 km² of protected area, an island with a hole through it

In Andros, the water doesn’t just surround the island—it opens it up. With 178 documented blue holes on land, at least 50 at sea, and 162 km² protected by the Blue Holes National Park, this Bahamian island tells its story through its depths as much as through its shores. An island cut through by water On Andros, the landscape may seem simple at first glance. Pine trees, mangroves, quiet roads, scattered villages, and the clear waters of the Bahamas. But beneath this tranquil surface, the island hides something else: a network of blue holes—deep water openings that lead to caves and underground passages. So when visitors arrive near Captain Bill’s Blue Hole, they aren’t just looking at a round pool surrounded by trees. They’re looking at a gateway. Beneath it, the water tells a story older than the beaches—a story of limestone, rain, rising seas, and caves that filled up

Izaline Calister: The Voice of Curaçao Who Sings in Papiamentu

For Izaline Calister, a performance often begins with a language. Even before jazz, before the arrangements, before European recognition, there is this simple yet powerful choice: to sing in Papiamentu, the language of Curaçao. Her voice is a memory, a rhythm, a way of inhabiting the world. Born in Curaçao in 1969, Izaline Calister has forged a unique path between the Dutch-speaking Caribbean and the Netherlands. As a singer, composer, and lyricist, she has established Papiamentu as a musical genre in its own right. Her story also raises a broader question: how can a minority language spread without losing its roots? A Childhood Between Voices and an Island Before the big stages, there’s Curaçao. An island where languages intersect every day. Papiamentu coexists there with Dutch, English, and Spanish. But on the street, within families, and in certain aspects of cultural life, Papiamentu remains a language of intimacy—a language of
