Abstract
The Wider Caribbean is a culturally diverse region, where three main languages are spoken and/or understood by most of the population: English, Spanish and French. To reach and unify the entire region, we envision a 3-year tri-lingual public engagement campaign that has a twofold goal: first, to unite a diverse set of collaborators, geographically dispersed, around a common vision and common story. Second, communications should be used to leverage the power of the growing constituency to inform public opinion, put FSAs on the political agenda, and influence the decision-making process.
