CaribbeanTales is...

CaribbeanTales is an innovative multimedia project producing educational films, audio programmes and new media products that reflect the rich tradition of Caribbean-heritage storytelling.

Our projects include CaribbeanTales.ca, our quarterly E-newsletter featuring profiles of Caribbean storytellers, cultural commentary as well as news and events; LiteratureAlive, a multimedia project that includes documentaries, audio books, and an educational website, all profiling Canadian-Caribbean authors; CRICK-CRACK! a Writing Contest for young people Grades 9-12; the CaribbeanTales Annual Film Festival, and more!

We plan to document the diverse histories that make up the Caribbean, to tell all the rich stories that never reached our school history books. This website also hopes to evolve into a highly interactive meeting and recording place for different kinds of people of Caribbean heritage and all those who have gone on to make (often unsung) contributions to Caribbean life.
