Caneel Bay Teach-In

Saturday, April 10 at 12:30-2:00pm (AST)

To be aired on WTJX and live streamed on Community Foundation of VI Facebook page.

This teach-in aims examines the challenges surrounding the closure of the Caneel Bay Resort. The event aims to educate members of the Virgin Islands community and encourage community advocacy. The audience should walk away from the teach-in with a clear understanding of

1. The larger socio-historical context that facilitates the current closure of the Caneel Bay Resort and
2. the available pathways to change. We want the community to feel empowered, develop informed opinions about Caneel Bay’s future, and have a clear sense of the most effective channels for voicing their concerns.

Panelists:

• Dr. Hadiya Sewer, St.JanCo Cofounder and President & Research Fellow at Stanford University
• Dr. Crystal Fortwangler, Visiting Professor and Film Program Director at La Roche University
• Attorney David DiGiacomo
