This event will be organized around International Creole Heritage Day, as proclaimed by UNESCO in 1981, and will honor the linguistic and cultural creativity of Haitian and Bahamian societies by recognizing their roles in the development of post-Columbian Creole societies. The celebration will highlight the pluriculturalism of the Caribbean region and the creole speech communities.

The event will feature academic presentations by University of The Bahamas faculty; cultural sketches, dances, songs, and performances by the UB Goombay Ensemble; as well as the screening of a portion of the new movie Kidnapping by Bruno Morall, followed by a Q&A session with members of the movie production.
