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.

Nassau Cruise Port: 6.7 million passengers expected in 2026

Nassau Cruise Port welcomed 6.1 million passengers in 2025 and expects to welcome approximately 6.7 million in 2026. As the Bahamian port is nominated for the World Cruise Awards, the numbers tell a broader story: that of a gateway to the Bahamas that is expanding in scale. Six ships and 33,254 passengers in a single day On June 8, 2026, six cruise ships were in Nassau at the same time. The Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration, Caribbean Princess, and Disney Fantasy all contributed to a record-breaking day: 33,254 passengers welcomed in twenty-four hours. The previous record, set on March 11, 2025, was 30,538 passengers. In just over a year, that figure has risen once again. For Mike Maura Jr., CEO and port director, this passenger volume is also due to the many Bahamian businesses that welcome visitors: retailers, artisans, restaurant owners, tour operators,

Lake Enriquillo: About 40 meters below sea level, a Caribbean giant

In the southwestern part of the Dominican Republic, the landscape seems to defy geography. Lake Enriquillo, said to be the largest lake in the Caribbean, lies in a depression whose surface is 40 meters below sea level. It is a vast saltwater lake with no outlet to the ocean, home to American crocodiles and iguanas. Behind this very concrete scene lies a much broader question: how did such a unique lake come to be here, and what does it reveal about the territory that surrounds it? Lake Enriquillo, a lake with no outlet to the sea One of the keys lies in the very shape of the basin. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), a government research agency specializing in Earth sciences, describes Lake Enriquillo and the neighboring Lake Azuéi in Haiti as two salt lakes located in the Hispaniola rift valley. Both occupy a closed basin: their waters have

Ida Does: Filming Affiba to Bring Forgotten Lives to Light

On August 31, 1896, in Paramaribo, Affiba Maria Magdalena Dompig rode through the city in a horse-drawn carriage, surrounded by several generations of her family. The photograph of that moment, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, became—130 years later—the starting point for*Affiba — The Eldest Woman of Paramaribo*, the new documentary by Ida Does. Through this story, the Surinamese-Caribbean director continues her ongoing work: looking at archives in a new light and bringing lives that have long remained on the margins back into the spotlight. It is in this space between traces and memory that Ida Does works. Affiba, a Face That Transcends Time In the photograph, Affiba is looking at the camera. Standing beside her are two of her children, a granddaughter, and a great-granddaughter. The Rijksmuseum dates the scene to August 31, 1896, and notes that Affiba was considered the oldest woman in Paramaribo at the time. The photographer
