(f) Promoting the symbols of the Community to engender a sense of belonging and commitment to the Region; (g) Engendering and maintaining public awareness and interest in the regional integration agenda. 2. UNY 2 – Refine and Promote the CARICOM Identity and Civilization – this strategy will focus on building the strong sense of Community unity and pride that is essential for regional integration and the CARICOM Agenda. This will involve facilitating dialogue across the Community; refine and then promote the “CARICOM Civilization”; promoting the Ideal Caribbean Person (See Figure 3); identifying appropriate ‘symbols’ of CARICOM around which to reignite pride, the spirit of integration e.g. the CARICOM Song, CARICOM Day, marquee events, sports (e.g. West Indies Cricket); redefining and reorienting the CARICOM related curriculum in schools; and integration of the Disapora. 3. UNY 3 – Facilitate Opportunities for the People of the Region to Build Social and Economic Relationships - through professional, academic and cultural exchanges, e.g. apprenticeship and on the job training opportunities for youth, worker exchange programmes, student exchange programmes, CARICOM Youth Volunteer Programme; organized tours and greater promotion of intra-regional travel and tourism. A major enabler of this strategy will be initiatives to ensure ease of travel/hassle free travel for citizens of the Community in alignment with Article 45 of the RTC (linked with the Transportation Infrastructure and Services strategy in Strategy Priority 1). 4. UNY 4 – Strengthen Relationships among Member States – deepening trust and unity among Member States and advancing intra-Community relations which will involve promoting specific opportunities for bilateral and multilateral cooperation and social and economic development. 33 | P a g e
