The Caribbean Innovation and Leadership Lab (CILL), in collaboration with the Ministries of Education in Saint Lucia, Dominica, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, will convene the Caribbean Education Innovation Forum II at Beachcombers Hotel in Kingstown, Saint Vincent, on October 7–9, 2025.
Centred on the theme Unlocking Full Potential: Transforming Education Through Innovation, Equity, and Insight, the three-day regional gathering will unite educators, principals, ministry officials, and school leaders to highlight teacher-led innovations, share locally generated evidence, and explore inclusive strategies to advance equity across Caribbean classrooms.
The Saint Lucia delegation will feature Chief Education Officer Beverly Dieudonne, Education Officers Jean Jeriffe and Marie George-Arlain, and teachers and principals from schools including Carmen Rene Memorial, Les Etangs Combined, Banse Combined, Dennery Primary, and Derniere Riviere Combined.
Participants from Saint Lucia, Dominica, and Saint Vincent will engage in role-based sessions, innovation showcases, and collaborative dialogues, with a focus on teacher–student relationship practices and scaling successful models through ministry support.
The forum is part of the Full Potential Program (FPP), a 2024–2027 initiative funded by GPE KIX, aimed at strengthening equity and inclusion by empowering educators to design, test, and scale classroom innovations. Through creative, low-cost solutions tailored to local needs, the program is fostering collaboration and capacity-building to transform teaching, learning, and student well-being across the Eastern Caribbean.
