ST. KITTS NEVIS NATIONAL CARNIVAL COMMITTEE HOLDS YOUTH CALYPSONIANS DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAM

Thursday 1^st November, 2018 (St. Kitts / Nevis) – As the St. Kitts Nevis National Carnival Committee (SKKNCC) continues its Youth Calypsonian Developmental Program, the Chairman of Carnival, Noah Mills, recently took time out to give an update of the Project. The 8-week Training Program began on Saturday August 18^th, 2018. Each Saturday, the Trainers move to a new School. Thus far, Workshops have been held at Charles E. Mills Secondary, Verchilds High, William Connor Primary, Tucker Clarke Primary, and Cayon High School. The Facilitators go next to Dean Glasford Primary in St. Peters, then unto Molineaux Primary on St. Kitts, with the final Seminar being held in Nevis. In commenting on the Venues chosen to host the Sessions, the Chairman said that the Carnival Committee wanted to ensure that it reached as wide a cross section as possible, to harness fullest potential of young Calypsonians. Thus, the total number of Sessions in St. Kitts will be 7, with 1 Session on Nevis. He then elaborated on the single Session being planned for Nevis. During Culturama 44, this past Summer, there were 14 Junior Calypsonians who competed. As per the SKNNCC Policy, Participants from Culturama 44 can enter this year’s National Carnival Competitions using the same material. Thus, the Nevisian Calypsonians are farther along the curve vis-à-vis their Kittitian counterparts. Nonetheless, the Team will still travel to Nevis to deliver the Training.
