EU putting resources to develop innovative youth

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Advocate -The European Union (EU) is funding programmes and providing resources to ensure that young creative minds are given more opportunities to develop their craft.

Working with the government, the hope is to further enhance the resources within the Fine Arts Division at the Barbados Community College while calling on teachers to explore multiple intelligences and varied teaching styles to accommodate the diverse learning styles of students.

Head of Social Development at the Delegation of the European Union to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Zissimos Vergos said, “We do not believe that it is possible for students leaving a Caribbean institution such as the Barbados Community College to be nationally or globally competitive if they are not exposed to modern technologies, tools and modern pedagogical practices.”
