With #CHOGM2026 just days away, leaders from across the Commonwealth are preparing to gather in Antigua and Barbuda to advance partnerships and investment for a more prosperous future.
That's why we've put together 15 strategic talking points and 12 concrete opportunities for action in our new publication, Learning to accelerate in partnership.
From transforming education systems and expanding flexible learning to developing digital, green, blue and creative economy skills, our key asks focus on equipping young people with the skills and opportunities to learn, lead, work and thrive.
Here's our challenge to CHOGM delegates and decision-makers: Explore the talking points, ask the difficult questions and come to the table ready to act. Where can collaboration make the greatest difference? What will it take to deliver results at scale? And how can we ensure no one is left behind?
Building a more resilient and prosperous future starts with investing in people. Explore our talking points and help turn shared ambitions into practical action: doi.org/10.56059/11599/6156
On St Vincent and the Grenadines' Independence Day, we celebrate the country's continued drive to modernise education, strengthen skills and prepare learners for a changing world of work.
Through investments in technical and vocational education and training, expanded post-secondary learning opportunities and digital transformation, St Vincent and the Grenadines is working to make education more accessible, relevant and responsive to national development priorities. Efforts to strengthen workforce skills, improve digital access and connect education with employment are helping to create new pathways for lifelong learning.
COL is contributing to these priorities through collaboration in higher education, teacher professional development, digital learning and skills development. This includes supporting online and blended learning, strengthening mathematics teaching, and advancing digital and AI literacy, micro-credentials and flexible pathways to employment and entrepreneurship.
As St Vincent and the Grenadines celebrates its independence, we recognise the progress being made towards learning that is more accessible, adaptable and connected to the aspirations of its people.
Ahead of #CHOGM2026, young Caribbean innovators are drawing attention to some of the region’s most pressing challenges. Today, at 7:00 p.m. AST, two teams participating in COL’s Pan-Caribbean Youth Robotics Innovation Project for Blue-Green Resilience and Prosperity will share their research and ideas on coastal resilience and food security.
The two back-to-back, youth-led webinars will highlight practical solutions and policy approaches to building a more resilient Caribbean:
- Webinar #5, Coastal Resilience, will explore the challenges facing Caribbean coastal ecosystems, from erosion to the degradation of mangroves and coral reefs, and examine innovative solutions and policy approaches to strengthen their protection and restoration.
- Webinar #6, Growing What We Eat: Strengthening Caribbean Food Security Through Local Production, will examine the region’s food-security challenges and explore how local production, innovation and supportive policies can build more sustainable and resilient food systems.
Both sessions offer an opportunity to hear directly from young Caribbean innovators and engage with their perspectives on challenges shaping the region’s future.
