Passing on the Traditions is a project design to help non-Caribbean and Caribbean children, of Midwest America, learn about the cultural heritage of the Caribbean.

Our intent is both to raise the awareness of the general public to the richness and diversity of Caribbean cultures and to enhance the appreciation of their own cultures in the offspring of Caribbean nationals living in the Midwest.

The program, aimed at building self-esteem in students/children of all ages and nationality, is to encourage them to become more aware of their rich cultures and to learn how their cultures have contributed to the fabric of American history both past and present
