CURB Launches CARICOM Education Series
Citizens Uprooting Racism in Bermuda [CURB] is launching a “public education and community engagement series aimed at supporting Bermudians in developing a clearer understanding of the Caribbean Community [CARICOM] and its relevance to Bermuda.”
A spokesperson said, “This initiative is designed to provide residents with accessible, balanced information about what CARICOM is, how it functions, and the range of perspectives surrounding regional engagement. Rather than promoting a fixed advocacy position, CURB’s focus is on creating space for learning, reflection, and informed discussion within Bermuda’s unique historical, cultural, and constitutional context.
A Focused Plan of Community Activities
“Over the coming months, CURB will roll out a focused schedule of educational and engagement activities intended to reach diverse audiences across the island. These will include:
- Public webinars and virtual information sessions
- Community surveys and feedback opportunities
- Lunch & Learn discussions
- Community awareness events and facilitated dialogues
“Dates and participation details will be shared through CURB’s social media platforms and email communications. Community members are encouraged to stay tuned for upcoming announcements.
Encouraging Informed Understanding
“CURB emphasizes that the purpose of this series is to share multiple perspectives on CARICOM, including both potential benefits and possible challenges. The organization’s role is not to persuade, but to equip those who are interested with balanced information and relevant context.”
“Our aim is to encourage thoughtful dialogue and open questions,” a CURB representative noted. “When people have access to clear, non-partisan information, they are better positioned to develop informed, well-rounded views on issues that may have long-term national significance.”
The spokesperson said, “Through this initiative, CURB reaffirms its commitment to respectful, inclusive public education and to supporting community readiness through knowledge, context, and open conversation.
Upcoming Event:
- Lunch & Learn – Unlock Insights: Understanding CARICOM Together
- February 26th, 2026 – 12:30pm – Bermuda National Library”
Perhaps CURB could also hold a public education and community engagement series aimed at supporting Bermudians in developing a clearer understanding of the ASEAN Community and its relevance to Bermuda.
Please don’t paint the idealistic fantasy picture. People deserve the truth about what is really happening in Caricom, and it is not pretty. Race has nothing to do with it either.
There is no relevance. We will not be joining. I lost all respect for CURB when they refused to condemn colonel Burt’s racist remarks about former chief justice Hargun. They’re hypocritical idiots and mouthpieces for this government and should just shut up.
