STUDENTS EMBRACE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION THROUGH ART EXHIBITION
Basseterre, St. Kitts, November 22, 2018 (SKNIS): The Department of Youth Empowerment is partnering with a number of stakeholders to expose the creative talents of art students, while at the same time encouraging them to preserve the natural resources of St. Kitts and Nevis, by hosting an exhibit under the theme: ‘Preserving our Land of Beauty.’
Pierre Liburd, Acting Director of Youth Empowerment, commented on the theme, noting that one of the priority goals of the St. Kitts and Nevis Federal Youth Policy, 2017-2022, speaks to preserving the environment.
“The theme centres around environmental awareness, conservation and preservation, and that’s one of the main pillars” of the Policy – getting young people involved in sustainable development of St. Kitts and Nevis’ natural resources. So it engages them in taking stock of what we have and considering how they would present a message to encourage others to recognize and to preserve it,” he said.
