The event which is designated the 3rd Sport and the Global South International Conference will take place over five days between June 10th-14th , 2013 at the Beausejour Indoor Arena in Gros Islet. The conference will bring together a diverse range of actors in regional sport and sports leaders from the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, Asia and the United States to collectively focus on tackling youth and sport related challenges, our region’s sporting heritage, its social and sporting development. This event will provide an incredible opportunity to promote sport as a foundation for many positive changes. The Caribbean is the perfect venue to host this prestigious event where some of the most recognized faces in sport hail from. Saint Lucia in particular presents an excellent venue and in addition to its sporting heroes it is also the home of Nobel Laureates Sir Arthur Lewis and Derek Walcott, two of the world’s most prominent figures in Economics and Literature. We are confident that the conference will become a significant event in our regions sporting calendar and I truly hope you will be a part of it by joining us in Saint Lucia. It will be our honor to welcome you and your delegation. Sincerely Fortuna Belrose Permanent Secretary (Ag) Delroy Alexander Chairman, Sacred Sports Foundation Inc. Gros Islet, St. Lucia Mobile :758-519 8190 Office Tele :758-450-0673 . Email :[email protected] Website:sacredsportsinc.com/conference I am proud to say as the Sacred Sports Foundation Chairman, the organisation founded by my late brother Keith Alexander, that he had the character to enact change. His struggles as a player and coach to both be successful and retain his own identity, helped build a fiercely intelligent character, with great wit and tremendous humility and determination. His success as one of the first black football professional managers in the English game is a testament to his spirit and ability to rise above even the most shocking cultural and racial challenges. Keith was passionate about the potential for sport and physical activity in the Caribbean and actively worked to ensure that the power of sport is utilised positively. That is why we hope to be an active catalyst for change. It is my distinct pleasure to announce that during June 10th-14th 2013, Saint Lucia will play host to a major new initiative, the Sport in Black & White Conference and Youth Forum. Designated as the 3rd Sport and the Global South International Conference, the event will bring together leaders in the fields of sport and youth development to tackle and debate a range of pressing issues for the first time in the Caribbean at the Beausejour Indoor Arena in Saint Lucia. The Conference will identify priorities with respect to key approaches to sport as a development and performance tool, focusing on social inclusion, diversity and health and well being. It will provide critical guidance on a wide range of topics from discrimination, what sports can offer as an export opportunity-a nexus between sport & international economics, the prevention of injury, fitness and nutrition, elite performance, the protection of youth and the power of sport and physical activity as a social and positive developmental tool for change. We will also look at citizen security issues and youth leadership training using sport and physical activity. Presented by specialists in the field, the Conference will bring together sporting and physical activity interests from all over the world for the sustainability and development of a network to help foster co-operation. This conference will provide a review of action items already underway, monitor current developments and drive innovation in the planning of future priorities. Set in a politically neutral environment, this is a unique opportunity. Influential decision-makers, high profile opinion leaders, international organisations, clubs, associations, NGO’s and the private sector , plus academics and top level athletes and educators will all gather solely to talk sport and physical activity for development. After the Conference our youth soccer tournament, scholarship college showcase and coaching certification courses will start. Open exclusively to Caribbean youth from all Islands, we invite you to send your teams, coaches and best players to participate where top agents, officials, scouts & talent evaluators will gather. Come and join us at Sport in Black & White Conference and Youth Forum, where we will work together on changing those practices that have disempowered participants in the most socially life affirming activity there is SPORT! In an effort to make the conference as accessible as possible, reduced airfare and accommodation packages have been negotiated in readiness for your arrival. More details attached. We look forward to welcoming you and your delegation.

The Island is approximately 238 sq. miles (616 sq. km), 27 miles long, 14 miles wide with a largely mountainous topography. Saint Lucia' s landscape is a combination of high mountains, lush rainforests, low lying lands and classic white sand beaches, but also many pretty, steep-sided, hidden coves. Forests dominate the mountains, while jasmine, scarlet chenille and wild orchids provide splashes of colour to the lush green slopes. The volcanic origin of the island provides visitors with an opportunity to visit a " drive -in volcano" and take a dip in the reputedly therapeutic Sulphur Springs. From First class hotels and suites to luxury boutique resorts and villas to small quaint B& B’s. Saint Lucia offers top quality services, great cuisine and spa facilities, all at prices to suit any budget -letting you truly unwind after a day at the conference !

    Cricket as a Diasporic Resource for Caribbean-Canadians by Janelle Beatrice Joseph A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto © Janelle Beatrice Joseph 2010 Cricket as a Diasporic Resource for Caribbean-Canadians Janelle Beatrice Joseph Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Exercise Sciences University of Toronto 2010 Abstract The diasporic resources and transnational flows of the Black diaspora have increasingly been of concern to scholars. However, the making of the Black diaspora in Canada has often been overlooked, and the use of sport to connect migrants to the homeland has been virtually ignored. This study uses African, Black and Caribbean diaspora lenses to examine the ways that first generation Caribbean-Canadians use cricket to maintain their association with people, places, spaces, and memories of home. In this multi-sited ethnography I examine a group I call the Mavericks Cricket and Social Club (MCSC), an assembly of first generation migrants from the Anglo-Caribbean. My objective to “follow the people” took me to parties, fundraising dances, banquets, and cricket games throughout the Greater Toronto Area on weekends from early May to late September in 2008 and 2009. I also traveled with approximately 30 MCSC members to observe and participate in tours and tournaments in Barbados, England, and St. Lucia and conducted 29 in- depth, semi-structured interviews with male players and male and female supporters. I found that the Caribbean diaspora is maintained through liming (hanging out) at cricket matches and social events. Speaking in their native Patois language, eating traditional Caribbean foods, and consuming alcohol are significant means of creating spaces in which Caribbean- Canadians can network with other members of the diaspora.

  • Australian Sports Outreach Program Caribbean
    CaribbeanCaribbean Case SCase Studytudy AAustrustralian Sports Outreach Preachogrogram Pr Caribbean Background The Australian Sports Outreach Program (ASOP) Caribbean is an Australian Government initiative delivered by the Caribbean Sport and Development Agency (CSDA). It builds on previous Sport for Development initiatives and the collaborations between Australia and the Caribbean in the use of sport as a tool for development. The most recent phase of the program focuses on strengthening regional capacity to lead, plan and conduct inclusive, sport-based programs that are linked to regional development priorities. History The Australian Sports Commission (ASC), through funding from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, has been supporting the ASOP and other sport development programs in the Commonwealth Caribbean countries since 1998. The program activities initially involved direct ASC implementation; however, in 2003 the Trinidad and Tobago Alliance for Sport and Physical Education (now called the CSDA) took responsibility for implementation of the program. 1 Key programs • Youth Empowerment through Sport (YES) — providing young people with sports leadership skills to manage and run their own sporting activities, events and competitions. • ENGAGE 360 — providing opportunities for children to develop movement literacy through a developmentally appropriate and child-friendly curriculum. • Jump Rope for Health — promoting healthy lifestyle activities and informed nutritional meal choices. • Kicking AIDS Out — an innovative, inclusive, high-energy approach that links sports, physical activity and traditional movement games with HIV and AIDS prevention and education. • Ready and Able — opportunities for children with disabilities to develop movement literacy. How it works • SafeStamp — making the sport, physical education and The CSDA works with schools and communities, through recreation environment safer for children.
